They were spotted here in Brandon too, but probably not the same flock.  ;D

Saw a flock of Canada Geese this morning by Polo Park. They were heading south!  :D

  :) Thanks bcbird for posting this information. As you can tell, I am very anxious for the return of our falcons. At present, I am watching a Great Horned Owl cam from Savannah, Georgia. They have a night vision camera as well. I am posting the site if you care to watch. There are two owlets. They certainly grow fast. They are three weeks old.

I used the Search tab above and typed Migration.  I found the topic Migration: Raptors Spring and scrolled through to find mention of a website.  Thanks to allikat for this one!

Has migration begun? Would love to view the migration site, however, I don't know the site. Can someone post this information, please. Thanks.  :)

According to the Windygates site, another 20 Peregrines were spotted April 28th, and 17 Peregrines were spotted today!  Well folks, I can do the math, and that's an aweful lot of Peregrines coming through!  I think this is absolutely promising news for this phenominal raptor!

Today when I went to St. Adolphe there were a few people at the bridge set up with scopes, binoculars, chairs etc looking up in the sky. 
Was good to finally see them there again.

Speaking of spring migration...in the last two days, I have seen, literally, thousands upon thousands of snow geese way up high flying West.  It's absolutely amazing to see and hear!

Wow! That would be! Funny, I had always thought snow geese were an endangered species, but I Googled and discovered that they are doing well. Yay!

Holy cats, Windygates in the Pembina Valley reported 22 peregrines going through yesterday (April 25th).  That brings this year's total through the valley to 57 when it is normally 2!

Just a note, the Pembina Valley site has had what a much more experienced birder called a "sustained and more organized hawk watch" the last couple of years but still this number is astounding!  Who knows who might turn up where or how far west some of these birds may be heading ...

Wishing I'd been at Windygates yesterday ...  :'(

Sorry... Could not find te "hawkcount" thread...  So, if anyone has been on that site lately, you might want to.  The hawks are on the move.  6 peregrines were spotted at Windygates hawk site the other day, and 1 Peregrine was spotted in St. Adolphe!  Very interesting....


From TPC:  moved post to migration threat
