Raptor Observations: Strong SW winds kept most raptors well to the north of the tower and very distant Non-raptor Observations: Empty skies until a push of passerines around 9:30 and then just occasional migrants. Visit eBird to see our daily totals from the tower. Predictions: More SW winds at 45 with gusts to 68 promises a poor day for migration ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cindy Cartwright (p...@bmts.com) Holiday Beach Conservation Area information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
