Ont birders,
After reading about the Beamer hawk watch record number of Rough-Legged Hawks yesterday, it got me thinking. Beamers total of Rough-Legged Hawks was 46 that is a total from 9Am-4Pm ?? where as I also counted 46 Rough-legged Hawks over Dundas Olympic arena in just two hours compared with seven at Beamer, my count was between 10AM- 12. The day total from Beamer was 1650 between 9Am-4PM ?? where as the total over Dundas between 10AM-12 was 1347 goodness knows how big it would of been if I had stayed all day.. Also at Beamer there are normally several pairs of eyes looking up where as I was on my own so I may well have miss many Hawks. I am not able to go to Beamer very often as I don't have transport but after yesterdays comparisons I am not shure I need to. But every one I have spoke to locally goes to Beamer to watch Hawks. My count yesterday could of been a once of event you know the write wind direction Etc, but I will try it again when I can to see if the Olympic Arena could become a new Hawk watching spot. Just thought I would mention it to the group as other people may not be able to get to Beamer where as Dundas is easy to get to.

This morning I have a Fox Sparrow in my garden in Concord. Yesterday afternoon I had my first Flicker. I am surprised that no one (as far as I've noticed) has yet reported a White-crowned Sparrow.
