I haven't seen one in years.  There used to be one at one of the smaller ponds in High Park that was quite comfortable around people and would allow me to approach quite closely.  It was great to watch it patiently fishing.

The GBH has a short distinct call, like a “phew”. Heard one last nite. This is in southwest Caledon on the Credit river.   Not to take away from the GBH, but earlier in the evening , heard a BBC calling across the river!!!!!

There was one in CSSP in April. Don't know if it's still there.


Wish I could get one in flight too.
