Good Evening ONTBIRDers: To get ready for the coming hawk migration season the Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch is holding a Hawk Counter's Workshop at 2:00PM on Saturday, Feb. 23 in the Hamilton Spectator auditorium.
The purpose of the workshop is to launch and review the updated NPH Counter's Guide and provide a refresher on some of the more tricky aspects of raptor identification. The ID refresher will consist of a PowerPoint presentation of over 100 excellent raptor photos by Barry Cherriere, with input from Tom Thomas and Tim Foran. Birders interested in learning how to identify hawks, eagles, falcons and other raptors in the air or who would like to become hawk counters are invited to attend. As we have lost several counters in the past year, we are hoping to attract new counter volunteers. To help us prepare the room, please email Mike Street <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> privately if you can attend.
