On Feb.22 a Pileated Woodpecker, unseen for 2 weeks, was seen working on an overhanging tree branch along Hall's Rd. Feb.23-at the north path-- Red-bellied Woodpecker, Hairy & Downy Woodpeckers, Brown Creeper.
AT 6:45a.m. IT IS DARK, but if you want to see the area's GREAT GRAY OWLS of late(I figure we have 4 still around) you must be there between then and 8:30a.m., the earlier the better. Today we witnessed one fly from LakeRidge Rd. to take a vole (or mouse) in the field, jumping up & down on it before tearing it and swallowing it tailend-first; then he flew to sit on a branch overhanging Hall's Rd.--posing for 20 minutes, before flying off, at 8:30a.m., to spend the day in the woods. Before 9:30a.m. there was no report of the Barred Owl. Hall's Rd. is entered south from Victoria St. in southwest Whitby. Doug Lockrey, Whitby -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
