Cranberry Marsh
sw Whitby, Ontario, Canada--south roadside parking area on Hall's Rd. 

Thursday, Sep.11/08
Observation  time: 0800-1030 EST
Official Counter:     Doug Lockrey
Observers:  Jim Skene, Dan Kaczynski, Jerry Ball, Jim Munroe, Craig 
MacLauchlan, Charlie Adey, Karl Jennewein, Rosemary Harris
In addition I enjoyed introducing the watch to 7 new visitors.

In spite of a TUV=400ft./min. the medium East wind and steady BP were not 
conducive to a flight along the waterfront. There was a flight path that took 
distant birds from Thickson Pt. northwesterly, straining our eyes for 
identifying. 2 2nd.yr. BALD EAGLES were among the 28 raptors listed..

Non-raptor Observations: many r-t Hummingbirds, warbling vireo, Wilson's 
warbler, black-throated Green warbler, marsh wren
