Headed to Beechey Head through Methosin today
on the roadside out there were some Greater-whitefronted geese feeding in grain feild. At the parking lot as soon as I got out of the car I could hear the kinglets and chickadees scoulding this Barred owl on the edge of the field.
When I reached the lookout, I was disappointed in that there were no raptors of any sort that I could see. I waited for several minutes before anything showed up, a red-tailed hawk, a sharpie and a coopers
Finally a Golden Eagle showed up from around the bend of the hill. It never stopped to say Boo, it just continued to flap and glide, out over the strait toward the States.

Finally after an hour or so, a large kettle of Turkey Vultures came over and with them several Red-tailed Hawks and a Broadwinged Hawk were circling in the mix.
