Hello there !
Nobody has bothered to post so for those who are city bound and want to
start off the new year with an Owl.
The 2 Great Gray Owls are still on the spit along with at least 3 Great
Horned Owls. I checked all the likely areas again but no Boreal. It looks by
the foot prints in the snow that no birders bothered to look in many of the
tangled areas. I did not find any prints anywhere on Peninsula D, except
mine. Some tangles were checked but if a Boreal or Saw-whet is there all
possible areas have to be checked this time of year as they try to hide much
more than usual what with 3 to 7 Great Horned Owls around.
DIRECTIONS:-
LESLIE STREET SPIT (TOMMY THOMPSON PARK) IN TORONTO
To get to "The Spit" from Queen & Yonge Streets. Take the Queen Street Car
#501 east to Leslie Street and walk south (about 2 km) or as far as you can
go on Leslie Street to Unwin Avenue and you will see the gate and signage.
By automobile you may drive to Lakeshore Blvd and Leslie Street.
If before 9 am you can park either on Leslie Street or Unwin Avenue, after 9
am the parking lot inside the gate is open, be sure to note the closing time
as your car will be locked in at that time.
NOTE:- The spit is only open on the weekends and on holidays, at other times
you will not be able to access the area. This area is extensive, 7 km to the
tip, but be prepared to walk more than that. There is a van available after
9 am from Victoria Day weekend to Thanksgiving Day weekend that will take
you out or back. The "SPIT" is only open on the weekend as they are still
building it.
