Went to Beamer Hawkwatch in Grimsby today for the open house and was a great day for hawk migration, in couple hours saw about 1000 Broad-winged hawks go through!
Also saw a juvenile Bald eagle, Osprey, Rough-legged hawk, Red-shouldered hawk, Northern Harriers,Sharp-shinned, Coopers, and Red-Tail Hawks. Beside the hawkwatch are a couple
feeders and 4 Fox sparrows were feeding here with White-throated sparrows, Juncos, cardinals and chickadees.
Earlier we went along Ridge road in Stoney Creek and went down 5th road where in a flooded field on one side of the road there were 15-20 Wilson's snipe hiding in the field, on the other
side of the road saw 4 Pectoral sandpipers, 6 Dunlin, Both Yellowlegs and Killdeer. Finally some sandpipers are moving through
