The Hawk Owl found yesterday was re-found today by Ian Cannell at 7:55 am giving us great scope views of this rare Owl. We then drove some of the roads in the area and found N. Mockingbird, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, N. Shrike and in 2 trees with side by side containing 143 House Finches.
Directions to the Hawk Owl - Exit the QEW at Fifty Road and drive up the mountain to Ridge Road. Turn Right on Ridge Road and drive one Concession to 10th Road E. Drive down 10 th Road to the railway tracks and the bird is in this area. Good Luck and to quote Ron Pittaway :- "Please give tame boreal forest Owls the space to hunt. Do not pursue them paparazzi-style. They are hungry and often starving".
