Hi Ontbirders: The Northern Hawk Owl along Bowesville Road off Leitrim Road did not disappoint early this afternoon. It perched near the road for quite a bit of time offering great views of it. Earlier in the day, I saw one female Pine Grosbeak perched along Grandview road as I drove by with windows rolled down. Heard it before I saw it. A possible Northern Shrike at a feeder in the Shirley's Bay area as I heard some squawking from the jays and then saw a shrike like bird (brief fleeting glimpse) which hovered briefly before it flew away. Thanks. Northern Hawk Owl from today http://www.pbase.com/golfpic/image/147249753/original W. Hum http://www.pbase.com/golfpic/some_recent_shots Directions: Courtesy of Kevin Hannah: Directions - from Hunt Club Rd, drive south on Riverside Dr. until it turns into Limebank Rd. Turn east on Leitrim Rd. until you come to Bowesville Rd (on right, immediately after passing the airport on left). Turn south on Bowesville Rd, driving approximately 700-800 m south. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
