Observation start time: 07:00:00 Observation end time: 11:00:00 Total observation time: 4 hours
Official Counter: Erik van den Kieboom
Observers: Robin Smallwood
Visitors: Thank you to Robin for helping with the count today.
Weather: Overcast and drizzly with temperatures staying steady around 9C all morning. Very strong winds from the southwest all day.
Raptor Observations: Very few raptors moving. One good push of Turkey Vultures in the second hour, but practically nothing else.
Non-raptor Observations: Including raptors, only 39 species were observed today. Highlights included a Nashville Warbler and nearly 1000 Tree Swallows. Today's ebird list can be found here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S280850580
Predictions: Tomorrow should be cloudy with some sun and have moderate WNW winds. This should help concentrate raptor movement closer to the lakeshore, allowing better views from the tower. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Erik van den Kieboom (<ErikKieboom...>) Holiday Beach Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/
