Hendrie Valley Pair of Long -eared Owls
Evening All Greg Mayne & myself observed a pair of Long-eared Owls at Hendrie Valley around 9am this morning They were located at the east end of the boardwalk where the trail breaks into a "Y" . We were able to get across the small creek to observe them face on about 20ft away. We were there for about 1/2 hour. Greg broke through the ice & got two wet feet which I hope are not frozen. I have images that will be posted at OFO Bird Photos later this week Bill Morden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.

Indigo Bunting
Hey All We have been watching an Indigo Bunting at our feeder all afternoon. It appeared about 1pm & is still in our yard as I am typing. I think this is a rather rare sighting since we last saw one back in 1979. We live in south central Oakville. I have pictures also.

LaSalle Park is on the north shore of Hamilton Harbour south of Plains Rd. at the south end of Waterdown Rd.
