Raptor Observations: A subadult Golden crossed low and close during the late morning, the day's lone highlight. Non-raptor Observations: European Starling (1500+), American Goldfinch (60+), House Finch (3), Tundra Swan (120+), Common Goldeneye (1) Predictions: Partly cloudy with highs in the mid 30s. Strong northwest wind is predicted for a windchill in the mid teens. Sounds like a hand warmer day for sure. Should hopefully be some birds moving with the northwest wind and today's messy weather having passed. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jonathan Stein (steinj...@gmail.com) Detroit River Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://www.drhawkwatch.org _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
