Re: [Ontbirds] Possible Swainson's Hawk, West of London off of Hwy. 401

2015-12-20 Thread Rebecca Flook
Hi Garth

I was wondering if you could get some more details from your son about the
possible Swainson's hawk. My husband and I might have seen the same hawk on
our way home from seeing the Vermilion Flycatcher. We saw a larger hawk
with the same description in a tree along Furnival Road leading to the 401.
I was wondering if he knew exactly where along the 401 he was. We think we
might have seen the exact same hawk, but wanted cross check our info with
his.

Thanks
Rebecca Flook

[Ontbirds] Lark Sparrow Fort Erie, yes

2013-11-27 Thread Rebecca Flook
Our little friend is still hanging around. Re found further down the road
in a bush with a large group of house sparrows on the lawn of number 845.
It seems to fly in hang around for a few minutes then flies off. When we
watched it come in, it flew in from the river side of the road. It does
stick amongst the house sparrows

Thanks to john black and dan salibury for helping us find the bird
