Hi Theo,

I have recently upgraded from a dial-up connection to
a cable connection and can no longer send messages to
ONTbirds.  Could you forward this one for me?

ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS, CACKLING GEESE & RUSTY BLACKBIRDS
- RICHMOND HILL

This morning en route to Richmond Hill from Newmarket,
I observed a
dark-phase Rough-legged Hawk hunting over the fields
on the south side
of the King-Vaughan Line, just west of Bathurst.
There were at least 12
Rusty Blackbirds in a tree on the same side of the
road; the larger
flock of blackbirds they were with scattered when the
aforementioned
hawk came by, so I could not identify those birds.

A few kms further southwest, I observed a light-phase
Rough-legged Hawk
perched at the roadside, about one km south of the KV
Line on Dufferin
Avenue.

Returning from my morning hockey game in Richmond
Hill, I stopped to
check the pond at the corner of Elgin Mills and
Leslie, where at least
500 Canada Geese had congregated.  Among them were at
least 50 Cackling
Geese.

Richmond Hill is straight north from Toronto, easily
accessed from both
Hwys. 400 and 404.  The Major Mackenzie exit is best
to take.  The areas
described above are north of Major Mackenzie on the
roads indicated.
