Hi Everyone
The Great Gray Owls were still present along March Valley Road this
morning, we saw at least 5 and at Kilmaurs Side Road and Dunrobin Road only
2 but 5 were near the corner of Dunrobin Road and Kinburn Side Road.
A Northern Hawk-Owl was seen briefly this morning at around 9:00am along
6th Line Road near Riverfront Park. After a minute or two it flew east and
disappeared. The bird was searched for this afternoon with no luck. A flock
of 35+ Bohemian Waxwings flew over the same area.
At Constance Bay the 2 adult Red-headed Woodpeckers were seen at the old
burn site.
good birding
