Hi Everyone
Did a quick check this afternoon for Great Gray Owls at the usual sites
and recorded 11 owls. The numbers due appear to be dropping but they maybe
just moving around nearby. Both March Valley Road and the area around the
intersection of Dunrobin Road/Kilmaurs Side Road both had 4 owls while
singles were seen on Rifle Road at Shirley's Bay, Kinburn Side
Road/Torbolton ridge Road and 2 near the intersection of Thomas Dolan
Parkway and Carp Road.
Along Rifle Road near Carling Ave. I counted 450+ Bohemian Waxwings
feeding on Buckthorn berries today.
good birding

Directions: GGO/ From Ottawa travel west bound on Hwy. 417 to the March
Rd./Eagleson Road and exit right onto March Rd. Follow to Klondike Road and
turn right. Go east to March Valley Road and turn left or right. Follow
along making numerous stops scanning the fields. Late afternoon to dusk
maybe the better
time to look.
GGO/From Ottawa travel west bound on Hwy. 417 to the March Rd./Eagleson Road
and exit right onto March Rd. Follow to Dunrobin Road and turn right
continuing northwest through Woodlawn. At the hill continue straight and
follow to next intersection which has a yellow flashing light. This is
Dunrobin Road/Kilmaurs Side Road intersection.

Enjoyed a weekend of birding in the Kingston area last weekend with 3 friends,
all of us from New Jersey. Thanks to posts here on ONTBIRDS we enjoyed seeing
birds throughout the area, including:
AMHERST ISLAND - Sat. 2/12
Owl Woods - Boreal, Great Gray, Screech and Great Horned Owls, plus Hairy WP,
W/B Nuthatch and those cool chickadees that like to take seed from your hand.
KFN property, SE corner - 1 Rough-legged Hawk, 7-10 Short-eared Owls, 1 Snowy
Owl perched on a fencepost, seen at quite a distance from the road nr a pair of
bluebird boxes. Also ~50 Snow Buntings.
Other island sightings incl. American Kestrel, Amer. Tree Sparrow, Red-tailed
Hawk, many Com. Goldeneye and R/B Merganser.
BATH - 2/13
Heritage Park - Went looking for N. Saw-Whet Owl but were unsuccessful. Did
note flock of ~20 Com. Redpoll, several R/B Nuthatch and a coyote walking on
ice across North Channel. From Amherst ferry terminal, W on Rt. 33, then L on
Heritage Dr. to end.
ENTERPRISE - 2/13
Completely skunked looking for GGOW along Rt. 6 and Rt. 14 around Enterprise
and Moscow. Time of day (late morning) and bright sunny skies no doubt worked
against us. ALL the locals we spoke with told us the owls were "all over the
place." (sigh)
JONES FALLS - 2/13
Lured by reports of Trumpeter Swan and Pine Grosbeak, we headed up this way.
Spotted a Bald Eagle on the ice near the Kenney Hotel but did not see either of
our target species. There is limited open water near hotel and further up
County Road 11, but no waterfowl was noted in either location. Directions: From
Kingston, follow the 401 to Exit 623; N. on Rt. 15 to Morton; L (west) onto
County Road 11; watch for signs.
Thanks again to all who reported birds on this listserv (especially with
directions)!
Good birding,
