Post by: JTF on August 08, 2009, 04:13:48 PM

Special thanks to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy. The Canadian Raptor Conservancy is involved in many different projects relating to Birds of Prey, Wildlife and Habitat. Their primary focus is to educate the general public about Birds of Prey and their continuing important role in our natural world.

**Note: From the display they have this weekend (Sat & Sun) at Grass Creek Park east of Kingston.

Dripping with envy.
Location?
I just don't know where to get decent closeups of hawks (apart from the zoo, saw a nice peregrine in a cage a while ago, but not recently

Depending on what kind of lenses you have 300mm or 400mm? Amherst Island is a great spot in the fall and winter months for hawks and owls. The island is south of kingston.
