Over 4 hours on Aug. 27 several of us took in many Hummingbirds & Chimney
Swifts at the Cranberry Marsh Raptor Watch; each day to date we have seen at
least 10 Crows.
On Aug. 26 we had 4 fall MAGNOLIA WARBLERS. Not an hour goes by without
hearing a Virginia Rail.

Now then the hawk count today-- 4 TV, 1 OS, 8 SS, 2 CH, 2 RT, 1 AK, 4 ML, 1
PG, 2UA and 1 UF

The 7-day TTL is 74 migrating raptors (23 hours), incl. 18 Ospreys.

From the west, exit 401 at Harwood, south to Bayly, east through LakeRidge,

south at Hall's Rd., down to a parking area just north of the lakefront.
