Weather: Temps -4C to 0C. Moderate winds N, bending to NNW. Partly sunny. Raptor Observations: The veteran observers were admittedly stunned to get zero Golden Eagles today -- although two late-day "banked" birds from a couple of days ago appear in today's report. Most interesting was a single late-date Peregrine Falcon. Non-raptor Observations: Good numbers of passerines -- most notably Rusty Blackbirds, Eastern Bluebirds, and Purple Finches -- were a near-constant presence. A single flock of 27 Sandhill Cranes was also noted. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S283949163 Predictions: Predicted W winds and possible blowing snow will likely suppress much of a flight. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Chris Burris ([email protected]) Hawk Cliff Hawkwatch information may be found at: http://www.ezlink.ca/~thebrowns/HawkCliff/index.htm More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=392 -- Ontbirds and Birdnews are moderated email Listservs provided by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) as a service to all birders in Ontario.
