In view of the stay-at-home order of April 16 by the Government of Ontario, it is with great regret that we have to announce that the annual count conducted by the Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch will be discontinued effective immediately. If you live in the Hamilton or Niagara regions and observe migrating raptors from your home, you may report them to us until May 15, as was done last year.
