One Great Horned, three Great Grays, two Barred Owls and a Northern Saw-whet at and near Hall's Road. I also watched a Northern Shrike scavenging the entrails of what appeared to be a several day old Cottontail Rabbit. It carried the material off repeatedly and appeared to be stashing it for later.
Hall's Road is located by exiting 401 at Salem Road and going south to Bayly and then east, past Lakeridge to Hall's Road and then south towards the lake.

Along with two other birders [ Wade and his wife] saw the grey-crowned rosy finch at 8:02 A.M. today. We watched the bird for app. 40 minutes. It was mainly in the trees to the west of the house. Occasionally it came to the flat feeder with the birch bark roof. Then we headed to Sudbury and were lucky enough to see a gyrfalcon. It was at the same location as the one posted around Jan. 24. Check earlier posts for directions to the finch. Directions to the gyrfalcon: From Hwy. 17 turn north on Southview Dr. [just west of the Hwy. 69 junction]. Southview follows along Kelly Lake and the falcon was seen perched on a blue and grey silo. The silo is across the lake from the road. Cheers, Lance Allin
