Hi Jim. The "mom" hawk was looking down and around in the nest so I'm hoping to see some more baby heads soon! :D Re: Point Pelee ... a birder here went there the other day and discovered that it is closed due to damage from the F1 tornado. Yikes!!!

WOW! Such major damage will take a long time to clean up. Amazing that there were no human deaths and only minor injuries. - I always wonder what the birds do in a storm like this! Do they "take the money and run"? Do nest sitters stay put with eggs and young? Same situation with major fires.
