High Park Hawk Watch, Thu Sep 9

[Andreas Jonsson]

I spent some time with the hawk watchers in High Park this afternoon (an hour and a half  from 1pm). The wind was optimal, i.e. from the NW, however it was 100% cloudy, so no thermals. Here's what I scribbled down (note that this is not the official hawk count numbers).

2   Osprey   
1   Northern Harrier   
29   Sharp-shinned Hawk   
2   Cooper's Hawk   
5   American Kestrel

The hawk watch takes place every day at  Hawk Hill beside Grenadier Restaurant. For more info, see here.

Thanks, Andreas, I haven't found it easy to locate the hawk watch (perhaps due to a knack for poor timing).

I believe people are generally there daily between 10am and 2pm, unless it rains. Locate the little hill just across the parking lot beside Grenadier restaurant.

There used to be a sign saying Hawk Hill...not sure its visible or has it aged to the point one can't read it anymore

I'm hoping to get out to the watch soon.
