Hello all,
Today along Greenland Road west of Ottawa there were several Great Gray Owls to
be seen. Two could be clearly seen from the roadside but this was not good
enough for the owl baiters and their acolytes who positioned themselves in the
field and lured the owl away from the road and th
Hello All,
Today I observed the Great Gray Owl that was reported a few days ago in
Holland Landing. It was on Bathurst st. past Queensville Sideroad. I

photographs were taken without coming off of the road (plus, there is a

I had a large flock of Robins (about 25) in the backyard today that
had been feeding on a neighbours crabapple tree. One of the Robins
was singing, which is the earliest I've ever heard them. Also, after
filling the finch feeder, I had the return of a Redpoll, which I have
not seen for 2 w

The West Humber Naturalists had a field trip today that started in Kleinburg
and ended in the Holland Marsh west of Newmarket. Along Huntington Road west
of Kleinburg we had one light-morph Rough-legged Hawk, several Red-tails, three
different Northern Mockingbirds, three Horned Larks, a Pileat
I scoped the lake from the Leslie St Spit to Victoria Park Ave for several
hours today and did not see the Western Grebe. None of the several bird
groups, that I met, had seen it either. Never-the-less, the bird could still
be about (it is a big lake).
I did see a flock of 8 White-winged Crossb
Male and female Surf Scoter in the bay between Pipits Point and the
Lighthouse, close to shore.
I didn't have any luck finding the Western grebe at the Spit or at
Ashbridges Bay this morning.
Great morning to be outside,
