Northern Hawk Owl / Chouette épervière | - Westmorland County (December 2020) Note: this sighting showed up when I did an eBird search for the month of Dec 2020 for this species using the species map report on eBird; however, because Northern Hawk Owl is considered a sensitive species on eBird, the specific details of the sighting including date, location and observer are all hidden and it only shows a general location on the map. Since this species would be flagged for review in NB, it would need to be validated and confirmed by an eBird reviewer for it to be visible in the public data so I'm assuming it was a confirmed sighting and for that reason, I'm adding it to the 2020-2021 list. |
