Just to clarify that the individual who made the donation to the capital costs of the shorebird habitat was John Omstead, a resident of Wheatley, ON who owns Family Tradition Foods. Several individuals had contacted me to suggest that the spelling of his name was wrong (it is correct), thinking it might be a long time member of the Ontario birding community with a similar name.

However, I did receive a report from someone who observed the male on Saturday but also observed a female near the same location. No photos of the female were taken and there have been no other reports of a female. Something to keep in mind when birding Tiny Marsh. I am still receiving about five reports daily of Great Gray Owls in the area and estimate that there are 10-12 owls still in this area as of April 21st. Bob Bowles
