I made a quick visit to East Humber Bay Park today on the way home from work. Lots of waterfowl activity and the clear skies and setting sun made for some great lighting!

A strong north east wind pushed hundreds of birds of prey into the area. Hundreds of sharp shinned hawks could be seen and most very low. The vantage point on top of the Scarborough bluffs kept all the birds in great viewing distance. Harrier hawks (marsh hawks) could be seen as well as a few immature bald eagles, kestrels, broad winged hawks, red tails, ospreys, and even a few good looks at peregrine falcons.
