Observation start time: 07:00:00 Observation end time: 13:00:00 Total observation time: 6 hours
Official Counter: Noel Herdman
Observers: Hugh Kent, Liz Kent, Paul Pratt
Visitors: Thanks to Noel for being Official Counter today - great job and Liz, Paul and Hugh for helping out. A few visitors mostly looking at the view and it was nice to see the Passerine Banders in the last hour.
Weather: Wind initially moderate from N then moving to SSW in the early afternoon. Clear to start with, gradually clouding up. Hot in the early afternoon.
Raptor Observations: Expected mix with again a few Broad-winged Hawks (14) appearing from the NE.
Predictions: Similar to today, warm with a moderate wind from the SW. So raptor numbers and species likely to be similar. Hoping for a few more American Kestrels and Sharp-shinned Hawks ======================================================================== Report submitted by Hugh Kent (<Hughnkent...>) Holiday Beach Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/
