We saw an adult dark morph Rough-legged Hawk on March Valley Road today about 2pm. It was initially sitting in a large tree about 100 m north of March Valley Road about 300 m west of the intersection with Klondike. It stayed in the tree about 10 minutes and then flew, circling and intermittently hovering.
Directions from Ottawa: Queensway west to Moody, exit on Moody north, continue to Carling Ave, turn left and continue west turning right onto Herzberg Road, then right on March Valley Road (alternative directions: go to Google maps and enter "march valley road ottawa" in the search box, click on the minus button on the zoom control to get a larger area map http://maps.google.ca/?hl=en ).
