Canada Birding Photography Locations & Reports

Joined in today on Frank’s Rosetta McClain Gardens Raptor Watch in Scarborough, and as always had a great time! We had a good turn out of people, and the birds of prey showed up as well! It was the first real fall feeling day with cold north winds. Sunny in the morning but by mid-day it had clouded over and started raining, then hail, then the sun came out! Probably all noted on the weather channel…….?
We had perfect north west winds but it was slow going for the first hour or so, by 10:30 a.m. the birds started rolling in.  Turkey Vultures, a few Goshawks, Sharp Shinned hawks, and plenty of Red Tailed Hawks on their migration rout along the shores of Lake Ontario.
We also watched black capped chickadees, golden crowned kinglets, finches, Leslie quickly Identified a small group of Redpoll’s (thanks Leslie!). For a detailed account of the day, check out Frank’s Blog
Photographed  these today with the Sigma 100-300mm f/4 & Sigma 1.4 tele-converter.
