I had a difficult time recently reading the hawk watch reports on ONT Birds (

The numbers of Broad Winged Hawks have been so incredibly high that I "just had to go" for a day to see it myself. Well, I am a believer after visiting Cranberry Marsh Raptor Watch.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and very a good learning experience mixing in with the experts.
The chickadees and Blue Jays feeding out of your hand , and the several hummers in the jewel weed, along with the nuthatches, chipmunks, red squirrles and warblers all so close are simply added entertainment.
I will return!
(hey, there's another bald eagle!)
