Today's trip to Hawk Cliff was highlighted by an excellent flight of Golden Eagles. We ended up with around 25 individuals (many of which provided excellent looks), with most of the birds in the afternoon. Aside from the Golden Eagles, the hawk flight was great, with quite a few Red-shouldered, a late Osprey, a few Rough-legged and some Bald Eagles among good numbers of the more common species.
Passerine visible migration was very evident today as well, with lots of blackbirds, Eastern Bluebirds, American Pipits, Robins and a few Pine Siskins. We also visited the Port Stanley harbour, where the highlights were a Little Gull, a few late Common Tern, Snow Buntings and a couple Sanderling. The Port Stanley Sewage Lagoons had a good mixture of waterfowl, although nothing of note. Thanks to all the participants for a great day!
