Weather: A very pleasant, sunny day on the tower with the temperature in the mid teens rising to the low 20s. The wind was out of the West until the onshore flow off Lake Erie took effect in late morning and caused it to slowly back to the South. Raptor Observations: Raptors were moving until the wind backed to the South when migration came to a stop. Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: Clear skies and variables winds will be the order of the day. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Claude Radley (crad...@cogeco.ca) Holiday Beach Conservation Area information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
