RED-TAILED HAWK, ROSETTA MaCLEAN GARDENS, SCARBOROUGH, ON

   We learned from talking to other birders that several Red-tailed Hawks have taken up residence in Rosetta MaClean Gardens.  We actually found it because we heard a an angry Blue Jay angrily sqawking at the hawk.  The red tail of the hawk is obvious in the third photo, taken from the back of the hawk.
