Weather: The weather today was very hazy in the morning but cleared up to a sunny day. The wind changed throughout the day from north component winds to south. Raptor Observations: There were many sharpies again today with a mix of kestrels. There was a few harriers too which were nice and close to see. Unfortunately there was only one broad wing today. Non-raptor Observations: We are in the midst of the blue jay migration! We counted close to 10,000 today. There is still a large selection of warblers to view as well. Predictions: Tomorrow will be another warm day, hopefully with some northern winds. We still hold out hope for more broad wings! ======================================================================== Report submitted by Nicole Shangi (nicole.shangi@outlook.com) Holiday Beach Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/ More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=100 Count data submitted via Dunkadoo - Project info at: https://dunkadoo.org/explore/hbmo/hbmo-hawk-watch-fall-2022
