A Peregrine Falcon was seen well on March 14 at the Ontario edge of the
Ottawa River about one mile north of Mattawa. It was perched just off the
shoulder of highway 533, running north of town. Unfortunately I cannot send
a pic of it through this route.
Very early migrant for this area (none have passed the view of the hawk
watches in southern Ont. yet). Probably still around.
Mattawa is just 40 miles due east of North Bay, which is 3 stop lights
north of Toronto (via good highways). Toronto is ?
Four Bald Eagles have been hunting around that same open water area
all winter, also.
