Birders, On a day when I have work to do, I stepped outside earlier and had a couple of raptors moving, so have been checking through the day.
At around 12:30 I had 2 kettles of Broad-winged Hawks of 8 & 20, then at 1:15pm a 1st year BALD EAGLE with 40+ BWHAs and 4 RTHAs, and 3 Sharp-shinned Hawks. Then, just now at 2:20pm, I had a kettle of 50+ BWHAs with THREE ADULT BALD EAGLES, and 5 minutes later kettles of 400+ and 100+ BWHAs that joined up (what a sight from my backyard!!). I am in Richmond Hill (north of Toronto), on the Oak Ridges Moraine, just west of the intersection of Yonge Street & Stouffville Sideroad. Good birding, Frank Pinilla Richmond Hill, ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
