Hi Everyone
Today, Feb.22,2005 I birded Amherst Island and saw 2 Boreal
Owls. One was in the major White Cedar grove past the feeder and the
second owl was in the south west corner of the Jack Pine plantation.
At the east end of the island 11 Short-eared Owls were feeding
over the KFN property, A few of them were calling.
I also saw a Northern Shrike and three Great Grays near Enterprise on
the way down.
good birding
