High Park once again saw winds from the NW throughout the day and a
continued migration of raptors, although fewer numbers than the
previous day (interestingly, many of the species across the board had
just about half the numbers from Saturday). In addition many of the
birds moving were quite a bit higher than Saturday, making spotting and
IDing them a bit more difficult. Nonetheless a very respectable total
of 774 birds were recorded.
Turkey vulture - 607
Bald eagle - 1
Northern harrier - 3
Sharp-shinned hawk - 51
Coopers hawk - 1
Red-shouldered hawk - 15
Red-tailed hawk - 77
American kestrel - 2
Unidentified accipiter - 1
Unidentified buteo - 14
Unidentified raptor - 2
