Hi Ontbirders: Did not see the Hawk Owl at the indicated location this morning. I did see what appeared to be a redtail hawk at the noted intersection. Drove around a bit and when I came back, the hawk had moved further into the field. I may have just missed seeing the reported NHO as it could be hunting nearby or on a lower perch or hiding in the trees.
PS. I saw a reference to the WeatherNetwork page where someone posted a photo of a Great Gray Owl on Manitoulin Island apparently photographed in January 2012. In case you happen to be visiting. W.
