Hello Ontbirders
On Feb.28 & 29 , birded Amherst Island and found only 1 owl , a
Snowy at the east point, KFN property. On both days only a few hawks
were observed Rough-legged and Red-tailed. Snow Bunting were easy to
find with a number of flocks (100-200) along the Southshore Road. The
island was still ice bound with no open water except for the ferry
channel. One Golden-crowned Kinglet was seen in the " Owl Woods" and a
dead Long-eared Owl was found near the KFN property.
good birding

Directions: Amherst Island is located 16 km. west of Kingston. Exit
off the 401 at exit 593 and drive south on County Road 4 to the very end
(Millhaven). Turn right on Hwy. 33 and drive 300 m. until you see the
sign to the Amherst Island ferry. The ferry leaves the mainland on the
half hour and leaves the island on the hour. Cost is $5.00 round trip.
There are no gas stations on the island. The K.F.N. property is at the
easternmost part of the island. The Owl Woods is at the midway point of
the seasonal road located 3.4
km. east from the general store. The road is closed due to snow drifting
so you have to make the 1km or so walk in.
