Weather: It was hot on the tower today, with the mercury reaching 29 degrees Celsius, and blue skies all around us. Raptor Observations: More migrating raptors were observed today. In addition, many non-migrating (resident) raptors flew by including two Peregrine falcons, 5 Ospreys, 20 Turkey Vultures and a juvenile and adult Bald Eagle. Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: We hope for good weather that will bring Sharp-Shinned hawks, Broad-Wing hawks and more American Kestrels. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Maryse Gagne (maryse.gagn...@gmail.com) Holiday Beach Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/ More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=100 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
