In Ontario I inherited some old bird books, which are pretty cool. I got one from 1945, and a bunch of newer ones. We also got two pairs of fair binoculars that we will use for the family.
We left Ontario with lots of birds seen. I tallied all the birds we saw, except I started letting off on crows, starlings and Rock Doves.
Most of the pictures on this post my brother took.
There were lots of Red-tailed Hawks early into the drive.

My brother got some really cool pictures of two Red-tails that were fighting.

Nearing the end of the trip we started seeing Rough-legged Hawks.

As we came into Manitoba we started seeing Snow Buntings and Horned Larks. My brother had never seen Horned Larks before. I got my first picture of Horned Larks.

The totals of Bald Eagles added up to about 3 or 4, the total of Red-tailed Hawks added up to over 70!! What a great trip we had to the East.
