For those people planning on looking for this bird: At 435 PM it flew west 30 meters, landing in the thicket around the base of the hydro tower across the pond. I'm sure it is still around. Josh From: joshvandermeu...@live.ca To: birdalert@ontbirds.ca; hamiltonbi...@googlegroups.com Date:

[Ontbirds] Barred Owl in Concord

While out surveying a property in Concord today, a colleague of mine and I flushed a Barred Owl. When we first saw it, we only caught a glimpse of it flying away. Not expecting a Barred Owl at all, I had assumed that it must of been a Great Horned Owl. Shortly after our first encounter, we
