While leading the OFO prince edward county hike today we had a significant flight at Point Petre 28 (of 31 seen during day) Bald Eagles, 43 northern Harriers 3 Peregrine Falcons, 13 Merlins etc. The flight happened after the rain at 2pm so there are many birds now east of you waiting to pass tommorrow.
Enjoy
Hey Tyler, Thanks for the report and the heads-up! Great numbers! Hopefully we get a whole bunch of those birds tomorrow! Walter
