There was an adult *Northern Goshawk* at Sudden Tract, between Cambridge and Paris. This bird may have been there all summer.In the first week in May, I heard a calling N. Goshawk in this same area. On a half a dozen subsequent visits, I never saw or heard it. However, today while walking the trails at Sudden Tract, it stopped and perched for a few seconds in a nearby tree. It was not agressive in the manner of adults with nests nearby.
You can see a photo here: Northern Goshawk<http://ontfin.com/Word/northern-goshawk-accipter-gentalis/> . If you do decide to look for it, be sure to bring bug spray. Also in the area along Shouldice Road, you may find: *Sandhill Cranes, Common Moorhen, Bobolink, Savannah Sparrow, Eastern Bluebirds and Grasshopper Sparrows*, all with young. Directions: Get on old Highway 24A (Spragues Rd.) between Paris and Cambridge and turn east on Beke Road (there is an Antique-Junk dealer on the corner. Go 0.9 km. and you will see a marked trail on your left. It has a sign post with a mosquito warning. The bird was about five minutes walk along this trail. For Shouldice Rd, continue along Beke Road and turn left on Shouldice. After a hollow with a marsh (worth a stop), you will come to an open field with towers. The length of this road to the next corner offers good birding. -- Harold Stiver Paris, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ontfin.com/ http://ontfin.com/Word/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
