I did my last hawk watch of the season today - beautiful day - but a bit
refreshing down by the lake. Only 6 hawks showed (5 Red-tails and 1
Sharp-shinned), but the other birds made up for it.
Nothing to crow about, but I saw two ravens (LOL) ... also seen were 29
Cackling Geese and two white morph Snows, Northern Shrike, Purple Finch, and
one Great Blue Heron. The heron was interesting as it flew in from the
north, checked out the froze marsh, landed briefly in a tree and then caught
a thermal and rose really high then left Ontario! Complete list of species
below.

Directions: From Victoria Street in Whitby go south on Halls Road to the
second short walkway going east to the Cranberry Marsh Lookout.
