Observation details
Amazing find earlier in the day by Brandon Holden. I was just about to leave Pelee after a slow afternoon/evening of birding when I heard about the hawk being reported. Made the short drive east and joined the large group of birders at the side of the road on Talbot, just west of Askew. Bird was reported to have flown just as I pulled up but luckily for everyone else just arriving, it only flew a short distance west and settled in the field. Big thanks to Richard Carr and Steve Pike as well for each offering a look at this beautiful bird through their scopes. Attached photo from a frame of video shot by Steve P. Missed this bird on a couple trips out west so it was fantastic to get it as a lifer in Ontario!
