As I recieved more than a few replies yesterday, I will post the data from
todays obsevations at the Spadina/St Clair Reservior in Toronto:
I will not try the patience of Ontbirds subscribers by sending a third
email.
Again today, I noticed that the winds were south to south east, and not
usually coducive to large numbers of raptors at the High Park Hawkwatch.
Between 2:45 and 4:00 pm I observed in the process of migration:
13 Red Tailed Hawks
1 Red Shouldered Hawk.
1 Sharp Shinned Hawk
5 Turkey Vultures
These numbers support the notion that when the conditions are not good for
the High Park Hawkwatch, the over flight of raptors may be found
long the old Lake Iriquois shoreline, in places such as The St. Clair
Reservior Park.
The St. Clair Reservior Park can be found at the southeastern corner of St
Clair and Spadina Avenues in Toronto.
