The highlight of the day at Beamer Hawkwatch occurred in the first 10 minutes.
At 9:10, five turkey vultures flew along Ridge Road heading west. The only
other raptors today were two red-tails.

Hello Birders,
As Tim King and I passed through the Nanticoke area on our way
back from Longpoint, we suddenly realized that wherever we looked there were
Bald Eagles, most were in flight, some were out on the ice and many were
perched in the "Eagle Tree".
At one time we counted 22 Bald Eagles in the air at the same time, and
conservatively estimated a total of 36 Bald Eagles in the area between
Nanticoke Rd. ( 55 ) in the west. and Sandusk Rd to the east, and Concession
2 ( Road 3 ) to the north, down to Lake Erie.
To get to Nanticoke, Take Hwy 6 South from Hamilton, just before
Caledonia, take the bypass to Hagersville, go through the town of
Hagersville, and a few kilometers out of town, turn left ( south ) on
Sandusk Rd. ( 18 ) and continue down Sandusk Road to Rainham Rd. Turn right
( west ) here and look for Bald Eagles in the trees/air, and out on the ice
in Lake Erie.
To get to the Lake, take South Coast Drive, which is between
Nanticoke Rd. and Sandusk Rd., on Rainham Road.
Good Luck............Tom.
