[Ontbirds]Yellow-throated Warbler and Northern Hawk Owl

[Todd Pepper]

The Yellow throated Warbler was seen this a.m., it showed up at 8:50 at the same feeder in Port Burwell.

Driving to Niagara Falls I also saw the Turkey Vultures at Wellandport reported by Don Perks.

Glaucous, Iceland and Kumlien's Gull were at Adam Beck on the Niagara River and Lesser and Greater Black Gulls up river of the falls. The Black-headed Gull was not observed, but I think every Bonaparte's on the River was near the Peace Bridge and it might have been somewhere in that crowd.

The Northern Hawk Owl was in the same spot in Stoney Creek. 

Directions for the Warbler and Owl are below:

Yellow-throated Warbler - Port Burwell
3 Bridge St (there is no number displayed at the road)
Cross the bridge in town centre heading west and take the first turn to the right. There is a sign there for Otter Creek Camping. Park near that sign and walk up the driveway to the house at the top of the hill.
The preferred feeder for this bird is on the south side of the house in an arbor.

Northern Hawk Owl - Stoney Creek
Take Fifty Road from the QEW up the escarpment. Turn right on the Ridge Road. Go to the first sideroad, 10th Concession, and turn left. Proceed to the railroad tracks and park on the east side. The Owl was about 500 metres west down the railroad tracks, seen on both sides of the track.
