Between 11:15 and 4:30pm I checked the skies every 5-10 mins over my house
at Bessborough Park in North Oshawa. I had a total 2481 raptors(10 species),
highlights include :
2438 Broad-winged Hawks (largest kettle 417 birds)
1 immature Golden Eagle passed overhead at 2:55pm
4 Bald Eagles
2 Ospreys
1 Merlin
The flight line passes over the intersection of Simcoe St and Rossland in
Oshawa, then over my house, Oshawa Airport, and the intersection of
Thicksons/ Taunton road in Northeast Whitby. And then probably onwards
towards the Iroquois hawk watch area in north Whitby.
directions
Exit 401 at Stevenson road in Oshawa and drive north to where it ends just
north of rossland road at the south field of Oshawa Airport.
