Just a brief note to tell you that the Raptor Watch at Cranberry Marsh in southwest Whitby, ON officially started on Monday, August 23, and will continue through to November 30. E-mail reports from me will be made only when I receive the data. I will be unable to get there very often.
I ask daily counters to send reports if a significant number of birds come through. Here is an unofficial report for Aug.23: observers-Les Sayer, Jim McKnight; 4 hrs.; 2 Osprey, 1 Bald Eagle, 1Broad-winged Hawk from Victoria St. south down Hall`s Rd. toward the lake, parking at the southern pathway; walk eastward toward the platform. I DO ASK THAT IF YOU ARRIVE PLEASE ENSURE THAT SOMEONE IS RECORDING DATA, Doug Lockrey, CMRW coordinator _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
