It was discovered by Clive Goodwin early this morning, Sunday February 27, and has been seen by several birders since. Otherwise there is little of note in the area, although the Northern Hawk Owl is still regular on Hwy.2 west of Welcome, north of Port Hope. The Lakeshore Road betwen Port Hope and Newcastle has large flocks of singing migrant Horned Larks and several Great Gray and Barred Owls can still be seen at dusk. Directions: For Cobourg harbour exit Hwy.401 at Division Street, Exit 474, and go south on Division which ends at the harbour. Drive round the north side of the harbour to reach the large parking lot on the west side. For the hawk owl, exit Hwy. 401 at Port Hope/Welcome Exit 461, go north 1km to the flashing light at Hwy.2 and turn west. Start looking on the hydro wires at once for the next 2-3 km as the owl has been moving about a bit, but it is seen most often just west of Kellogg Road. (The Harris's Sparrow that was on Kellogg Road has not been seen for a couple of weeks now.) For Lakeshore Road, go south about 2km from Exit 461 and turn west at the lights on Ridout Street which becomes Lakeshore Road. You can return to Hwy. 401 at Newcastle, Exit 440.
