Steve Wood, a great guy who "knows his weather stuff", motored down Hall's Rd. in southwest Whitby on Wednesday to enjoy migrating raptors from the Cranberry Marsh viewing platform. He and 2 or 3 others, convinced that the aforementioned conditions would bring a good flight would carry overhead hawks were happy to see 9 different species-- 1 Turkey Vulture, 6 Osprey, 2 Bald Eagle, 1 Northern Harrier, 6 Sharp-shinned, 2 Cooper`s, 8 BROAD-WINGED, 6 American Kestrel and 2 Merlin.
I thank those who go to identify, count and record hawks at CMRW. Please remember that I can not get there very often, unless someone arranges to pick me up. Data will be reported only when I receive or am able to pick up the info left in the locked box. Within the box is lots of helpful info. Hall`s Rd. is 1 short block east of Lakeridge Rd. Go south toward the lakefront, parking in the southern parking area.
