Hi all, Yesterday I was informed of Northern Hawk Owl in Schomberg. I arrived close to 5:00pm and quickly found two photographers so I was easily able to find the bird 20 feet up a tree in clear sight. This bird has not been reported as far as I can tell. It has been in the same general area for the past few days.
Exit Hwy 400 at Hwy 9 and drive West to Schomberg. Turn left(south) onto HWY 27 and drive approximately 1 km to Dr Kay Drive and turn left. (at the Tim Hortons) The Hawk Owl has been seen on Dr Kay Drive between hwy 27 and Main Street. And also on Cooper Drive which runs south off Dr Kay. Look in the marshy area and the tree tops. I found it near the end of Dr Kay Drive on the south side where there is a trail going into the marsh. There is parking on the street at the end of Dr Kay.
