-I wasn't aware thar Grimsby was a world renowned raptor viewing location; some cool shots of RTH's: ( http://peregrineprints.com/zz_RTHA.htm ) AND some literature on Red-tails in the "Winter": ( http://www.hamiltonnature.org/birds/locations.htm )

Wow! That will place you at the heart of "hawk" migration! Kinda cool the the Turkey Vultures earned top numbers on the 2011 spring run. The results were comparable for this species in the 2010/2011 runs but there was quite a difference in the Broad-winged counts? Our local temps are preparing for a dive later tomorrow and will continue for at least one week! :o(
