Tim and I had great looks at the Spotted Towhee about an hour ago (12:30 pm) after waiting nearly 2 hours. During those two hours it called a couple times, briefly flew by twice, and otherwise was completely out of sight. If still searching for it, bring warm clothes, some bird seed, and be patient. Drive past Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory and park near the gate that blocks the road. Walk a couple hundred metres past the gate until you see some seed spread on the ground at a left bend in the road. This is where the Spotted Towhee comes out to feed.

Hi all, Yesterday I was informed of Northern Hawk Owl in Schomberg. I arrived close to 5:00pm and quickly found two photographers so I was easily able to find the bird 20 feet up a tree in clear sight. This bird has not been reported as far as I can tell. It has been in the same general area for the past few days. Exit Hwy 400 at Hwy 9 and drive West to Schomberg. Turn left(south) onto HWY 27 and drive approximately 1 km to Dr Kay Drive and turn left. (at the Tim Hortons) The Hawk Owl has been seen on Dr Kay Drive between hwy 27 and Main Street. And also on Cooper Drive which runs south off Dr Kay. Look in the marshy area and the tree tops. I found it near the end of Dr Kay Drive on the south side where there is a trail going into the marsh. There is parking on the street at the end of Dr Kay.

The Spotted Towhee was seen this morning at 10:30 after about a half hour wait. Prior to sighting it was heard calling. Directions as per Jeremy's post below.
