It was brought to my attention that i had failed to give directions to T.T.P.
(Tommy Tompson Park) or Leslie Street Split. Same place different name. So if
you care to go there looking for the Owls mentioned earlier then here is how I
get there from where I am located,
Drive south down the 427 to the Q.E.W
Take the Q.E.W east all the way through to Gardiner and then carry on the
Gardiner till it ends.
Gardiner ends by turning into Lakeshore Drive.
Take Lakeshore to the second set of traffic lights which is Leslie Street.
Turn right onto Leslie Street and drive to the end, I park outside the gates as
they do get locked on time and any cars inside in the parking lot will get
locked inside (I have seen this happen before).
Tommy Tompson Park is a fairly large park so expect to do abit of walking.
If you are coming in from the east end of Toronto then I am sorry but I do not
know how best to get to this location from that end of town.

Hello Ontbirders
After striking out twice in the last 2 weeks looking for Short-eared Owls
near Newcastle, I decided to head for the Fisherville Raptor Preserve. This
time I was successful. Arriving at about 2pm I easily found 7 SHORT-EARED
OWLS on the Haldimand 6th concession between Regional Rds 53 and 12. I was
able to see and photograph the owls without getting out of my car. When I
returned at 4:45 the birds were all still in the same roosts.
I also checked out the Nanticoke Power Plant (south of CTY Rd 3 at
Nanticoke). From the road which runs south of #3 on the east side of the
power plant (sorry I don't recall the name) I had 4 sightings of immature
BALD EAGLES in flight (at least 2 individulas). Also on the same road I
pulled off at a spot where there is beach access and looked back west to
the power plant. In the late afternoon sun the many ducks were
unidentifiable, but I did make out the hunched silhouttes of several GREAT
BLUE HERONS on the beach. Heading out I found 6 immature BALD EAGLES
roosting at the edge of a wood lot on the south side of #3 just east of the
power plant.
Directions:
Haldimand County is south of Hamilton. From Hamilton take Hwy 6 south to
Hagersville. Go SE on 20 then S on 53 and E on the 6th concession. For
Nanticoke follow 53 or 12 south to #3 then go west to Nanticoke.
Good Birding

Saturday, Feb. 12, 2005.
4 Great Gray Owls seen off Giroux Road at the quarry (left side).
Possible Snowy Owl observed in the field perched in a tree between Hwy 174 and
St. Joseph Boul. in Orleans (field is between Parkway over pass & Jeanne d'arc
bird was closer Jeanne d'arc) - No place to stop on Hwy 174, so I doubled back
a few times to make sure - I had seen an all white bird perched there before -
still no clue what it is.
If anyone in Ottawa-Orleans knows what I'm talking about, I'd appreciate
knowing.
Observed 2 Great Gray Owls on Rockcliffe Parkway near Green's Creek off Hwy
174. One of the two was nearly hit by my car as I drove away from the first at
Green's Creek and I was able to stop in time - close call.
Giroux Road is off Frank Kenny South on the left after Hall Road - in
Cumberland, Ontaro. (18VR63)
Poss. Snowy Owl between Hwy 174 and St. Joseph Boul. / Parkway over pass and
Jeanne d'arc exit in Orleans, Ontario. (18VR53)
Green's Creek - At St. Joseph and Montreal Road take parkway north - Owls
observed before Green's Creek. (18VR53)

A real pane to a N.Harrier; early AM owls in southwest Whtby--Feb.12

Many early AM visitors (Feb.12)to Lakeridge Rd. and Hall's Rd. managed to
pick up as many as 6 Great Gray Owls and Cookie/Charles, my name for our
"resident" Barred Owl. The latter was seen many times at various positions
along Hall's Rd. and along both pathways. There is a second Barred Owl,
occasionally found within the Lynde Shores bird-feeder trail.
One never knows where a GGO may show, but the most likely choice is along
Lakeridge Rd., 1 block west of Hall's Rd.
I do not believe anyone saw the Pileated today.
A wonderfully-coloured 1.5 yr.-old male N Harrier was found dead on a
driveway below porch window-panes during the morning. The bird had been a
favoured sighting for several months. Positive cause of death will be made,
and we hope he will be a display bird eventually.
A Great Horned Owl was also seen in a distant tree at the north end of the
Cranberry Marsh wetland.
Hall's Rd. and Lakeridge Rd. run south from Victoria St. in southwest
Whitby.
