Saw and photographed two Red-shouldered Hawks today about 5pm at Fitzroy Provincial Park west of Ottawa. Directions: 417 west to Kinburn exit - north on Kinburn to the old Hwy 17. Turn left and take first right that goes to Galetta and Fitzroy Provincial Park. Saw the birds coming south from the Ottawa River towards the parking lot. The park is not open yet but you can go as far as the parking lot and then hike in.
