It's great to see posts from other birders in Scarborough!  I live just East of Bluffers in Guildwood, so I really appreciate the local info you post.

I so want to see a Shrike this year.

Great signature there posting the TWC emergency phone number.  A number every wildlife admirer should have on hand.

Walter and I werre at Rosetta McClain Gardens just down the bluffs abit from Bluffers Park. We saw a raft of gulls all take flight and circle. This often means there is a large bird of prey around. We didnt immediately see anything but a few moments later we observed a juvenile Bald Eagle circling out over the lake. We had a reasonable binocular view. There was a few Redtails pass by,a Northern Harrier and a local Coopers Hawk. There was very little in the way of small birds,most certainly nothing special.
ERC..check out our Raptor Watch site at Rosetta McClain Gardens(note its only in the fall) http://raptorwatch.blogspot.com (http://raptorwatch.blogspot.com)  We get alot of good small birds there in spring too.

We want to do one of the Hawk watches this year, it sounds like an awesome thing to see.
