Great horned Owl heard calling just now near the roundabout at Grey Road 19 and
Kinsey Place. There are large spruce trees in the area and although I have not
seen them I have heard them calling several winters in a row. People with small
dogs and cats might beware.

Merry Christmas Birders,
We saw a majestic Great Horned Owl on our way home from our family Christmas.
It was perched on the gin of a lone cedar tree in the open meadow, on the east
side of Wylie Road, just north of McNamee Road.

There appeared to be the head of a GHO sticking out of the top of a squirrel
nest in the tall trees just east of the parking lot at 47 Sheppard Ave East in
Toronto.
This sighting was on February 20.
The nest was about forty feet up, in a busy area, so it is unlikely that
twitchers will spook
not that a GHO is necessarily post worthy, but you don't usually see them
in that area with a rat in its talons.
Just something for locals to keep their eyes on.
