I have posted some rough ID thoughts and 20 photos on my blog (so you can judge for yourself!) - http://www.blog.peregrineprints.com/2015/05/hybrid-red-shouldered-x-red-tailed-hawk.html The bird is wary of slow/stopped cars, as well as people exiting vehicles. Giving it some space could allow more people to view it. It has wandered up and down Eastport Drive from the Skyway Bridge to Windemere Basin, as well as crossing the QEW (east side). Happy Birding! Brandon Directions: Exit the QEW at Eastport Drive (Exit 93) and search the light posts and trees south of the skyway bridge, south to Woodward Ave. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
