Weather: Winds were moderate to strong from the W for the day which typically slows down any flight but with a good mix of sun and cloud some birds were on the move today. Temps were quite cool to start at 1C and only getting to a high of 7C so we're finally starting to see more late fall like weather. Raptor Observations: Not a very big flight today with just 276 birds tallied of which 167 were TVs. However, there were some good quality raptors with a number of Golden Eagles (11 - 7 of which passed in the 12-1 EST timeframe!) Some Redtails (78) and Red-shoulders (3) and a late Osprey were also passing by and not much else. Non-raptor Observations: None reported. Predictions: More of the same for Wednesday so it's hard to say how much of a flight there will be. Perhaps there's a few more Golden Eagles in the pipeline. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown (thebrowns@ezlink.ca) 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
