We went to the Holiday Beach Conservation Area two consecutive Saturdays, Sept 15 and 22, to have a look at the migration of Hawks. This place is renowned for its birding. Each fall, thousands of birds of prey take a stop in this area before heading south.

Common species observed includes hawks, vulture, eagles, falcons, etc.

On September 22, was the “Festival of Hawks“.  This was very interesting as we could see some of these magnificent birds from up-close. There was branding demonstrations, and you could “adopt” a bird before releasing him back in nature.
