Title: HIGH PARK SIGHTINGS
Post by: Soaring Hawk on May 15, 2008, 12:16:00 PM
Hey everyone, I just went to High Park for my first time on Tuesday,  it was a beautiful day.  I spotted a Nashville Warbler, and many many woodpeckers were calling all afternoon.  For those who like hawks,  I live in the Yonge st. & Steeles area.
There is a single Red tailed hawk who lives in the neighbourhood.  He or she can be sighted almost every day, right south of Centrepoint Mall.  Especially in the morning.  There is also a Cooper's hawk that lives in the neighbourhood too.

The hawk is usually sitting behind a persian plaza where the new Willowdale pharmacy opened.  There is a park behind the plaza.  The hawk can also be seen sitting atop a grey apartment building during the morning/afternoon, or soaring around it.

the nest is in my area ive seen it it's very large and high in the trees.  should i stay away from the tree or is it safe for me to approach the tree and take closer looks at the hawk and its nest way above me?
