Migration: Raptors / Spring
allikat:
Valid point, however, this is why I posted my question earlier regarging the "unknown falcons" that were observed migrating. Any thoughts on that?
The Peregrine Chick:
Was curious to see how many peregrines had been reported at hawk watch sites this spring ... so far, only 23 according to the lists I've received. Know lots of birds have been overwintering in the East and some in the Midwest, but what about the rest of them? If I had the time I would run through the spring 2011 lists to see how many had come in by this point, seems to me that it should be more, but maybe I'm falling into the early spring trap and the peak isn't until a wee bit later ...

The Pembina Valley hawk watch at Windygates is the only formal (ie reporting) hawk watch in the province:

And they list counts per species per day, per month and per migration season.
On March 18th they had bald eagles, northern harriers, sharp-shinned hawks, northern goshawks, red-tailed hawks, roughed-legged hawks and an unidentifiable eagle. Oh ya, 1 peregrine. Could have been Jules' companion I suppose ...
