Todd Watts is a very knowledgeable birder. He has observed birds throughout the Appalachians, along the Atlantic Coast, in southern Florida, the Dry Tortugas, the Gulf Coast of Texas, the Great Plains, the Rockies, the American Southwest, Vancouver Island, Australia and in New Brunswick. He is most skilled in identifying hawks in flight. In late August of this year he will be starting Atlantic Canada's first official fall hawk migration monitoring site or “hawk watch” on Greenlaw Mountain.
