It was a lovely day at the hawk watch yesterday ... light southerly winds reminded me of tropical destinations and the rain cooled my spirit, fraught with the rigors of the day.
All said, it was pleasant day, but not for hawks - one Osprey graced my presence! Other birds included 13 pipits, a towhee, 2 Fox Sparrows, an Eastern Phoebe and a Rusty Blackbird A Great Egret (unbanded) was at Duffin's Creek, seen on my way home. Directions: From Victoria St in Whitby go south on Halls Rd to the second short walkway going east to the Cranberry Marsh Lookout.
