Erwin and Annie Meissner of Massey saw a Northern Hawk Owl on Manitoulin Island about 2:30 p.m. today. It was perched on the wires along Highway 540 about 1 km west of Kagawong east of Gore Bay. Perhaps an indicator that this species is on the move. Small mammal numbers are low in many areas of northeastern Ontario. They also saw Pectoral Sandpipers, three Rough-legged Hawks and a Northern Shrike on Manitoulin.
