While performing a forest survey for a Medway Secondary School class
yesterday - April 12th at 2:30 pm, my Teaching Assistant and I - Diane
Bialek spotted an adult Broad winged hawk flying over Weldon Park,
behind the school. To get there from London take Richmond St. north
and turn left at the traffic light in Arva, heading east on Medway
Rd.. Continue east approx. 1.5 km. to Medway Secondary School.
Weldon Park is a small recreational park located directly behind the
school property.
Happy birding!
