Iroquois Shoreline Raptor Watch Heber Down C.A. Whitby,Ont. Have not posted lately due to very low numbers! So far this Nov./05 we have recorded only 84 migrating Raptors. Total observation hrs = 6.5. Year to date total now stands at 5,332 .I will update a year end report after Nov. 30/05. We hope we might get in more hours but long range forecast does not look promising!
