Count ended at noon due to heavy snow. Gearing up for a messy afternoon - more snow, ice pellets and freezing rain! Raptor Observations: Only one Red-tail, but it's a start Non-raptor Observations: First day of the 2007 Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch at Beamer Conservation Area in Grimsby, Ontario. Counting will continue daily until May 15. Come out and see the birds! THANKS to Tom Reavley for helping set up the equipment today. Predictions: Today's storm hit most of the area south of us, so very unlikely to see any birds Friday. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Mike Street ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Beamer Conservation Area, Grimsby, ON information may be found at: http://www.hwcn.org/link/niaghawk/ Site Description: Beamer Conservation Area is located on top of the Niagara Escarpment above the town of Grimsby, Ontario.
