Did you see many raptors up there?  I plan on hitting it again soon with the new toy.  Quite the spot if you got the time and a zoom lens.  Nice pics regardless.

Rob there were several Red-tailed along the 427. At Zenway there were 2 Harriers, 2 Red-tailed and 1 Kestrel

The white rump seen in the last picture is an indication of both the Rough-leg and the Harrier and you got them both in the same picture, very nice.

Thanks Thomas!
 
Reuven and Thomas, regarding ID of the 2nd bird, for what it's worth when I first saw it I thought it was a juvie Red-tailed!
