Hi there, Sorry for the late post; I'm just getting in from work.
I am very happy to report that today (Dec 13) at 4:12 PM, I relocated the dark morph RTHA, albeit, not in the same location as before. I merged onto the 416 at Fallowfield, heading N, and watched a dark hawk in the distance flying towards the west side of the highway, roughly 1.5 km N of the Fallowfield merge. As I neared the bird (it was still in flight) I was able to see that it was spot-on; same bird...it's been re-found! Here's hoping that the rodent pop. in the area will hold it down. Hopefully others will be able to enjoy views of this gorgeous specimen. To note, today's sighting location is only 4-5 km N, as-the-crow-flies, from the Trail Rd. Quarry area. Directions: (As per those given on Neilyworld.com): From Highway 416 take exit 66 (Fallowfield Road). If southbound, a 0.4 km offramp dumps onto Fallowfield, where you will turn right or west. If northbound, the 0.4 km offramp brings you to Fallowfield, where you will turn left or west onto it and in 0.5 km join the southbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Fallowfield Road west for an additional 0.4 km to reach Moodie Drive. Turn left or southeast onto Moodie Drive and go 5.3 km, passing Cambrian Road to reach the quarries (second gate on the left). Park along the side of the road without blocking the access. Good birding, Jon Ruddy _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
