Birder the island yesterday with no owls located. Red tailed; rough legged hawks still in good numbers. One Turkey Vulture flew over Front road; tree swallows checking out the nest boxings along the KFN fence line as well as a pair of wilson's snipe. The only non-bird item of interest was a mink just to the east of the hydro plant west of bath.

Exit off Hwy. 401 at exit 593 (County Rd. 4, Camden East) and drive south to the very end (Millhaven). Turn right on Hwy. 33 and drive 100 metres until you see the sign for the Amherst Island ferry.
