Kevin Shackleton, Robin Lawson and I drove up to Dalyrymple this morning and found the Hawk Owl lingering at the same spot where Tony Bigg and Anne Anthony found it last Sunday during the Carden CBC (i.e. where Hwys. 6 and 46 meet west of the Carden Alvar). We also had a male American Kestrel near the interesection of Lake Dalyrymple Road and #6.
We tried unsuccessfully to find the Harlequin Duck that was observed earlier in the week at Barrie's waterfront but did observe several GBB Gulls, a Glaucous Gull, and two Bald Eagles (one adult, one subadult). The open water where the ducks had been observed has now virtually disappeared - there was only room for one Common Goldeneye to swim in today.
