Today at Beamer, I observed and photographed 2 fox sparrows underneath the feeders. 3 sandhill cranes and a common loon also flew over and a pair of Pileated Woodpecker could be heard in the forest and where observed by those who went looking.
There were also lots of raptors but no eagles by 2:00 PM when the migration took a pause. Pictures of the fox sparrows are available at: http://www.giraud.com/cgi-bin/ImageFolio31/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Birding/Beamer_Pt_Hawk_Watch/20030327 To reach Beamer Memorial Conservation Area from the north or east, take Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) Exit 71 in Grimsby.
