At 2:50 this afternoon I saw, I believe,the same Western Redtail that was at Harmony Rd and the 401 earlier this month. It is now at the Stevenson Rd/401 interchange in Oshawa. This it about 5 km west of where it was seen earlier. I saw it on the South West corner of that interchange between the 401 and the eastbound offramp to Stevensen Rd. It was sitting about eight ft. off the ground facing north on a small evergreen. I only saw it for a few seconds at 60 mph but I believe this is the same bird as reported on Jan 15 by Keith Linton and on Jan 20 by myself.
This is a highway situation so viewing will be problematic. Probably parking at the new Sail store north of the 401 and walking back over the Stevenson rd bridge might be your best bet but be aware that I am not sure of the sidewalk situation on this bridge Jim Yaki Bowmanville Ont.
