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
