Hi everyone. I personally have not gone to see this imm. male bird but numerous birders are "flocking" (no pun intended! :D) to see this VERY rare bird - just arrived in Brampton, Ontario a couple of days ago. He is being sighted all up and down front yards on Addington Cres.
Lake Aquitaine. Lots of Red-breasted and White-breasted Nuthatches around as well.
Lake Aquitaine, exact same tree as back on Oct. 10th. This time, he/she flew to another pine tree - couldn't see the owl afterwards but could definitely hear it. Bright yellow eyes, green-gray bill, tufts of feathers at base of bill = adult owl. A truly thrilling sighting!
