This post is with the permission of the Coordinator The Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch is hosting its annual Open House at Beamer Memorial Conservation Area on Friday 25th of March, Good Friday.
The event officially starts at about 10 a.m and our activities usually end around 2 p.m. We hope to have a rehabilitated raptor to release. There will be displays by the local birding clubs and a hawk identification workshop. And of course we are looking forward to a big day for hawks! Hope to see you there. If you have any questions call or email me. Come early as parking is limited. To reach Beamer Memorial Conservation Area from the north or east, take Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) Exit 71 in Grimsby. Follow Christie St. South and Mountain Ave. to the top of the escarpment. Turn right onto Ridge Road West and follow to Quarry Road. Turn right and follow to the park entrance. Parking is permitted in the lot or on Quarry Road or Ridge Road.

Rd.--wonderful low roadside perch for 1 hour before flying low over the road into the woods to the west. At the north end of Shoal Pt. Rd. many saw a N.Shrike. At the feeder station area on Hall's Rd. we had a momentary look at a Merlin flying through. A Red-bellied Woodpecker spent some time on the tree where the suet feeder hangs. No owls were seen between sunup and 10a.m. It was a very cold ,windy day. >From the 401 exit at Salem Rd. in Ajax, south to Bayly, left/east a short distance to Shoal Pt.
