Raptor Observations: About what could be expected given the weather Non-raptor Observations: 41,260 Blue Jays Predictions: The forcasters are calling for much improved conditions with the morning beginning mostly cloudy with NW winds an a 50% chance of showers. Winds should back to the West as the day progresses and the cloud cover should break up. Temps will be much more comfortable for birds and man with morning lows around 19 and afternoon highs near 23. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Claude Radley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Holiday Beach Migration Observatory information may be found at: http://hbmo.org/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
