The Campbellville, Ontario NORTHERN HAWK OWL was cooperatively perched right along Reid Road today very close to Guelph Line, providing close views. See directions below.
A beautiful adult RED-SHOULDERED HAWK was less than five minutes from the Hawk Owl and allowed close approach. From the corner of Reid Road and Guelph Line, go west on Reid Road to the end and turn left. Go over the RR tracks and make the first right turn after crossing them. Drive down this road to where the tracks cross the road. The hawk was by the tracks on the right side of the road. He flew west down this road some distance but returned shortly. DIRECTIONS TO HAWK OWL FROM US-CANADA BORDER: The Hawk Owl is about an hour, perhaps a little more, from the border in Niagara Falls. Take the QEW across the Burlington Bay Skyway to the exit for Guelph Line Road (Hwy #1). Proceed north (left turn) on Guelph Line roughly 12 miles to Highway 401 (a major highway) at Campbellville. There is a parking lot just before you go over the 401, on your left. Just before the parking lot, also on the left, is Reid Road. I would suggest parking in the lot. Today, the bird was visible from the lot, looking south at the maple(?) trees on the other side of Reid Road. There will likely be other birders there. Good birding!
