I was in Keswick today and traveled out Ravenshoe Rd off of Leslie St.At the end of the road ( at #25) I saw a Northern Shrike. While looking at it on a wire I then spotted a heavily streak Snowy Owl sitting on the last pole on the road.Going down a dead end portion of Yonge St to the south I saw more Snowy's sitting on the ground. I stopped at some smaller sheds at fire-code #22094. When I looked up the drainage ditch to the east from here I could see 3 birds in my bins at once. Scanning the fields to the south from here I saw 2 more, for a total of 6 birds in this area.I also found a flock of about 70 Common Redpolls foraging along the ditch.To get here, travel north on Leslie Rd. from Newmarket until you see the sign for the Town of Georginia (Keswick). Turn left west, here on Ravenshoe and drive to the endCraig Potter _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
