Attention: Gerard McNaughton, Compiler Hanover/Walkerton CBC: Hello Gerard. As you may have read, I am compiling the Ontario Winter Birding List for 2008/09. I have had a lot of Ontario birders e-mail me after my posting earlier this week updating everyone on the 3rd week of the winter bird list regarding the Broad-winged Hawk reported from the Hanover/Walkerton CBC.
This is an unusual winter species to have on a CBC, given that Broad-wings generally leave the Province in large concentrations in late September/early October. There is some question if there has every been a record of Broad-wing Hawk in the "winter" months in Ontario. Can you confirm the veracity of the sighting of the Hawk on your CBC? Thanks.
