We saw two Bald Eagles today about 2:30pm west of Ottawa. They were soaring
and circling together in sight for about 10 minutes. Got several pix.
Directions from Ottawa: 416 west to Arnprior, exit left at main
intersection on road to White Lake, turn left at the village of White Lake
onto Bellamy Road and proceed east for several km. We saw the eagles about
1-2 km before the power lines. If you have no luck, don't worry; you can
continue east and have pancakes and maple syrup at Fulton's sugar bush!

We saw two Great Gray Owls in the Fenelon Falls area today. Both birds =
were observed in fields frequented by owls last year.=20
The first bird was in a field on the west side of Regional Highway 121 =
just north of town, 0.5 kms past the intersection with Regional Highway =
8. We had a good but distant view from the driveway of # 890. It was =
seen at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and again at 5:00 p.m.. Check all the =
deciduous trees, especially those near the cedar bush. At 5 p.m. it was =
north of # 890 actively hunting from a post. I give the address of # =
890 as a reference only. I have not talked with these people and do not =
know if they have seen the bird. I parked on the shoulder of the =
highway, not in the driveway. This bird was first seen on February 27, =
06
The second bird was in a field opposite 957 Balsam Grove Road. Take =
Balsam Grove Road north from the Glenarm Road ( the highway between =
Beaverton and Fenelon Falls, aka Regional Highway 8 ) and continue 3 or =
4 kms to just past Whitetail Road. At 4:45 p.m. The bird was sitting in =
a tree in the yard of an abandoned farm house just north of # 957 on the =
opposite (east) side. This bird has been in the area for at least 2 =
weeks. Again, the address is for reference only. I don't know if they =
are birder friendly.
Hope this helps those studying the echo flight.

This morning a Winter Wren was singing in the valley just behind the =
houses on the south side of Thickson's Woods. This bird probably =
wintered, as one was seen and heard periodically thoughout the winter.
To get to Thickson's Woods, Exit from #401 to Thickson Rd. S. Continue =
south about 1.5 kilometres to the Waterfront Trail, where you will see a =
large green sign on your left that says "Thickson's Woods Nature =
Reserve". Park along the east side of Thickson Road and walk east along =
the Waterfront Trail about 200 metres to where a pathway enters the =
woods on your right. Trails lead through the woods with two extending to =
the roadway on the south side of the woods along the shore of Lake =
Ontario.
The entrance to the meadow portion of the reserve is on the north =
side of the Waterfront Trail opposite the entrance to the woods.

I may be considered an expert of sorts having processed tens of thousands of
digital photographs. There is nothing in this photo that appears unusual or
"doctored". The EXIF data embedded in the photo confirms the date and time
of the exposure as 14:16:49 (2:16:49 pm) Feb. 27, 2006. This sighting and
the one earlier this winter in Southwestern Ontario may be indications that
recent species recovery efforts, including the release of 266 birds in
Pennsylvania, may be baring some fruit.
