International Migratory Bird Day (2016)

Today is the International Migratory Bird Day, and here in Ottawa, there was an event at Brewer Park that included bird banding, birds-of-prey show, and guided walks around the park.

I was there mostly for the birds-of-prey, which was presented by the same organization from the Science by Night ten days ago; therefore, I had already seen three of the four birds.  But at least this time the birds were outside and able to show off their flying skills.

Fergus the Harris Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus)
The new bird was Fergus the Harris Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), a bird found in southern US and Mexico.
