Hi Ontbirders:
I'm following up with this email only because the Hawk
Owl's behaviour today was very much different from that of yesterday. Although
it was seen early in the morning (based on a couple of people who were there),
the Hawk Owl pretty much rested for most of the day. Someone found the owl
perched just off the ski trail heading left of the main entrance at the dead
end on Hastings. It was perched facing the sun and must have been there for a
long time. At about 3:30 pm It flew back to the area I had mentioned in my
previous report, eventually perching near the houses overlooking the compost
bins. The day ended much calmer than it had began with the strong winds. The
Hawk Owl left us with this parting shot late today. Thanks.

Directions:Take Carling westbound and go past Andrew Haydon Park. Continue on
Carling past Moodie Drive and turn right on Grandview. Continue to end of
Grandview and turn left on Hastings. Continue along Hastings and about 50
yards before reaching the end of Hastings there is a short-cut on the left side
(across the road 17 Hastings) into the NCC fields where the Hawk Owl can
usually be seen.
