Photographed late today, February 16, in Ottawa. The light was very nice. A group of about 20 birders were visiting from the USA. People have been photographing this hawk owl here for the past 3 weeks.

Taken at the Old Quarry Trail. Saw many Bohemian Waxwings at the same spot this owl hangs out at. Someone estimated 250 Bohemain Waxwings at the same spot as the Hawk owl last weekend.

From the parking lot at the Old Quarry Trail in Ottawa, take the right-most trail (the only one that allows dog walking) and go past the hydro station. Just past that, the trail turns left. The owl is perched either on the hydro poles, wires or the trees on the right. If you do not see it, go around to the wooded area on the right. It's either perched low in front of the trees or inside the woods. It has been there for several weeks now. The walk from parking lot to the owl loaction is about 2 minutes of easy walking on a flat surface.
