The Northern Hawk Owl reported earlier was seen at 2 PM today in the same area on Bowesville Road,Ottawa. It flew in from the west side of the road and perched atop a tree on the east side for two or three minutes. It then flew off while composing this message, direction unknown. It was heard before it was seen and was "trilling" often as it flew in. Photos obtained.
Bowesville Road is due south of the Ottawa MacDonald-Cartier airport, off Leitrim Road. The owl was about 500m south of Leitrim Road.
