Visitors: We would like to thank Noel, Mike, Juliette, Baylana, and Jude for helping with the count today. We would also like to thank Marcos, Lou, Toni, David, Mel, Yvonne, and Fern for visiting us today.
Weather: Sunny, clear skies all day with temperatures increasing from 9 to 20C during the count period. Strong NE winds in the morning switching to a light south wind by the end of the period.
Raptor Observations: Large numbers of Turkey Vultures were moving late morning/early afternoon, along with good numbers of Sharp-shinned Hawks and Red-tailed Hawks.
Non-raptor Observations: Including raptors, we observed 79 species of birds. Some highlights included 3 Red-headed Woodpeckers and lots of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers migrating. Today's ebird list can be found here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S278213789
Predictions: Tomorrow's conditions should be sunny with partial cloud and a moderate SW wind. This will likely push raptors further away from the tower, making viewing conditions unfavourable. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Erik van den Kieboom (<ErikKieboom...>) Holiday Beach Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/
