Hi Ontbirders
Please bear with me as this is my first posting
Today at 3:30 I observed a Snowy Owl along O'Toole Rd between Regimbald and
French Hill Rd. I believe that it was an adult Female. It was on a tree very
near the road.
At 4:00 I also saw the Great Grey Owl thanks to the crows that were mobbing
it behind # 2182. It was quite far and landed on a tree and then quickly took
off.
Great Grey Owl (From Connie Deynes message): Take Hwy 417 and exit at Innes
Road (east). Turn right (south) on Frank Kenny Road. Go past French Hill and
Regimbald roads and turn left on Giroux. The stand of deciduous trees is on the
north side at a slight bend in the road just east of the LaFarge Pit and behind
#2182.
Snowy Owl: Take Hwy 416 and exit at Innes Road (east). Turn right (south) on
Frank Kenny Rd. Turn left (east) on French Hill and turn right on O'Toole. It
is between French Hill and Regimbald.

The Great Gray owl was spotted again this morning at around 7am perched in a
tree (one with a small truck sign on it) on the right side of the road just
after the Lafarge quarry on Giroux, offering a great view of the owl. It
was actively listening for prey. It then flew across the road and perched
in the trees on the left.
Of all the Great Gray owl reports over the last 3 weeks, this owl (supposing
there is the one owl) seems to be spotted the most based on Ontbird reports.

Directions from Ottawa:
Take Hwy 417 east and exit right at Trim Line. Continue up the hill past
the Tim Hortons until you get to Innes road. Turn left at Innes and
continue for short distance until Frank Kenny road. Turn right on Frank
Kenny and continue past streets like French Hill and Regimbald. Giroux is
the street after Regimbald. Turn left on Giroux. Soon you will come to the
Lafarge quarry (there are signs). According to previous reports the Great
Gray owl has been seen from the Lafarge quarry area to about house #2182 on
Giroux.
