High Park Site Description:
High Park is a 400 acre wooded park dominated by a Black Oak Savannah
located just west of Downtown Toronto near Keele and Bloor. The park is
operated by the City of Toronto Parks Department.
The Count site (Hawk Hill) is located on a small hill at the north end of
the Grenadier Restaurant parking lot. It is located about 1.5km (1 mile)
north of Lake Ontario, at an elevation of 110 metres above sea level and 38
metres above Lake Ontario. The site location is N 43 degrees 37 minutes 03.8
seconds, W 79 degrees 28 minutes 56.5 seconds. This station is at the
highest point and near the centre of the park; a steep slope that descends
to a large pond is immediately west of the station. Full time counts have
been recorded here since 1993.
The following are partners in our raptor migration monitoring in the Greater
Toronto Region: City of Toronto Parks and Culture Department, Toronto
Ornithological Club, and Local Naturalist's Clubs.
