Hello, This afternoon I found a heavily barred Snowy Owl on Brownlee Rd about 1/2 way between Eagleson and Shea Rds (west side of town). It was on the north side in a cut corn field, sitting on a fence post, the kind that snow fences are usually attached to. It was just sitting and looking around it.
I have had a bit more information regarding the Short-eared Owls south of the Ottawa Airport, and believe the 6 - 7 owls reported just before Christmas are still in that area. The vole population is quite substantial and several more owls have been seen there, in the area bounded by Earl Armstrong, Bowesville, Leitrim and Limebank Rds. For directions to the above see http://www.ofnc.ca/birding or contact me privately. Cheers, Eve -Eve Ticknor Coordinator, OFNC Peregrine Falcon Watch 38-9 Gillespie Cres.
