Title: Nighthawks and Red-tails
Post by: Leslie Kinrys on August 18, 2011, 04:28:58 PM

Around 7:30 pm on August 17, I saw 5 Common Nighthawks flying in the Bathurst/Finch area. Later, I was walking on the new path through the hydro corridor, again near Bathurst/Finch. I saw 3 Red-tailed Hawks. They were all perched separately on different hydro towers. Now that I can walk through this area, I expect to see more raptors and other birds that like open, grassy fields.

Sorry for this late post but I've just overcome some internet problems. Last Friday evening, August 19, a dozen or so Common Nighthawks were seen from our balcony in the Yonge/Davenport area. We see them every year about this time.
