2 consecutive days (Sun., Mon.) of N winds and significant thermals brought many birders to CMRW in southwest Whitby, ON, to witness and assist in counting migrating raptors. Indeed, in spite of sunny skies on Tuesday 10 or more of us were kept busy counting TVs, BEs and SSs--Jean Iron was keeping the Tuesday records (I left at mid-day). I will be away for over a week--I DO ASK THAT IF ANY OF YOU ARE THERE ON A DAY WHERE NOONE IS REPORTING THAT YOU WILL TAKE A PAGE FROM THE WHITE BOX AND KEEP HOURLY RECORDS ON IT, returning the page to the white box after.
Monday's numbers:: TV-189, OS-2, BE-4, NH-4, SS-89, CH-3, BW-!35, RT-13 ,AK-25, ML-1, PG-1 TOTAL--466 Turn south from Victoria St. onto Hall's Rd., down toward the lakefront, Parking in the second roadside parking area, walking east to the platform.
