Weather: Moderate W shifting to WSW... then SW and finally SSW. Extremely variables cloud cover. Temp from 6C to 14C. Raptor Observations: Falcons were sparse despite the WSW to SW and finally SSW winds. Non-raptor Observations: Non-raptor numbers were modest as well. Best bird was a "singing" Rusty Blackbird perched for a couple of minutes near the lake. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S120349790 Predictions: Weak NW shifting to weak SW probably means modest numbers, at best. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown (ez.raptor1210@gmail.com) 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
