Meyers; James Fairchild; Jack Ryan; documentation provided by: Roy E.C. Baker; Jerry H. Guild; Michael H. King; Terry Osborne; David Worthington. Published comments: This represents the first accepted record for Ontario. The bird was well seen by the hawk counters at the Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch, who observed it fly in and land neaby with a meadowlark in its talons! There was no compelling evidence to suggest that the bird was not of wild origin. 1st (OBRC accepted) Ontario record for this species. 1st OBRC accepted record for southern Ontario for this species. Record accepted by OBRC (record number 908?). Record published in 1995 OBRC annual report.
