Observers: Weather: Strong (3) NW winds with gusts up to 25 km/hr until 1 PM when they moderated slightly; Temperature went from 3-4°C; Cloud cover -- Cumulus clouds were racing across the sky throughout most of the day. Watch began with 25% cloud cover and ended at 75% when I left.
Raptor Observations: No migrating raptors seen Non-migrating -- 2 RT Hawks, at least one of which was an adult
Since Saturday (which was to be my last day of this season) had rained most of the day, I decided to go to the Rock on Sunday hoping for some migrants on what should have been (according to the wind) a productive day. Unfortunately, no hawks chose to migrate on my last day for this season's hawk watch. My thanks to those who came to count with me, during a fairly unproductive season, with its main biright spot being the sighting of an adult Golden Eagle, which unfortunately did not show up when others were present.
Non-raptor Observations: A Raven was seen flying over the Rock at one point ======================================================================== Report submitted by Craig Jackson (<crleja1949...>)
