En route to skiing in Barrie with my kids today I was pleasantly surprised to see an adult Red-shouldered Hawk perched at the edge of the woods in a valley on the east side of Hwy 400 about 1 km south of Molson Park Drive. Aside from a very evident rufous shoulder above a black-and-white checkered back, this individual had a rich rufous chest that made it stand out in comparison to all the Red-tailed hawks seen along the way.
On the way home, about 2 km south of the Snow Valley Road, we saw 6 Wild Turkeys on the east side of #28. Ron Fleming, Newmarket
