Yesterday, 5 February, late in the afternoon, a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk was feeding on a dead Canada Goose at Pringle Creek on the west side of the bridge on Brock Street in Whitby. This could be the same bird reported by Geoff Carpentier on 22 January. Red-shouldered Hawks are quite rare in winter. This bird looks striking. Please see: http://www.jeaniron.ca/2011/redshawkwhitby.htm
Directions: From the 401 take Brock Street exit in Whitby (NOT Brock Road exit in Pickering). Proceed south on Brock towards Lake Ontario. The small bridge over Pringle Creek is before you reach Whitby Harbour waterfront.
