The raptor migration at Beamer Point outside of Grimsby, Ontario was a little slow today due to the mostly north wind. Highlights of the day were golden eagle, bald eagle and red-shouldered hawk. The flight picked up in the late afternoon as the winds shifted to the south. If the winds remain constant, March 22 could produce a strong flight and would be a great day to see red-shouldered hawks.
It was also the Hawkwatch Open House today and I thought it only appropriate to post a few photos of birds watching humans watching birds. http://tinyurl.com/2r9caj Good Birding Jacques Giraud To get to Beamer CA, take the QEW to Exit 72, follow Christie St./Mountain St. to the top of the escarpment, turn right on Ridge Road West, and go 1.6km to Quarry Rd.
