There have not been many new sightings in this area in the last week or so, but today I had a prolonged look at a Northern Shrike doing its hovering hunting technique which I have rarely seen and I flushed two Northern Flickers from a shrubby area adjacent to the drainage canal on the 10th Line of Bradford-West Gwillimbury which responded energetically to my imitation of their "keow" call note. This road is north of Bradford on County Rd. 11 (Hwy. 11), east on the 10th Line just past the Quonset hangar on the right hand side of the road about 1km past the railroad tracks.
