Ontbirders
We often read posts on Ontbirds that could (should?) generate dialogue.
ONTBIRDS is primarily for bird sightings, it is NOT the place for 'chat' or
discussions.
There are alternatives to Ontbirds - bulletin boards and list servers
(local and provincial). A complete list should be compiled for a future
Ontbirds message (contact me privately if you know of something for such a
list).
One alternative is the Yahoo Group Ontariobirding
Ontariobirding is a forum for anything related to birding in Ontario;
intended to complement - not compete with - the rare or important bird
sightings provided by the Ontario Field Ornithologists' ONTBIRDS listserv.
We can go beyond 'what species are being seen today' to discuss, speculate,
argue and explore the many other aspects of birding in Ontario.
You have to subscribe to Ontariobirding to post but anyone can view
Ontariobirding's archives. To join the Ontariobirding list or view its
archives visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OntarioBirding/

Attention Owl Enthusiasts,
At Bird Studies Canada we are gearing up for the 2005 Nocturnal Owl =
Survey, and are looking for eager volunteers to fill available routes. =
Initiated in 1995, this survey has been monitoring owl populations so =
that we can determine if=20
logging practices are negatively affecting owls. Data is also =
incorporated into the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, which has just =
entered its 5th and final year. =20
The survey is completed during a single evening in April, beginning 30 =
minutes after sunset, and takes approximately 3 hours to complete. A =
broadcast tape or CD containing pre-recorded owl calls and timed =
listening periods is played at fixed intervals along the roadside. =
During each listening period, the surveyor records all species of owls =
seen and heard.
I have listed the available routes below, as well as the nearest town. =
There are also a number of routes which have never been run, and would =
require scouting beforehand ("new" routes). If you are interested in =
surveying any of the routes listed below, or would like more =
information, please contact Susan Debreceni by phone or email (toll =
free: 1-888-448-2473 x222; [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Be sure to let us =
know if you prefer a CD or a Tape, and to state the route number. =
Routes will be filled on a first come first serve basis.
We look forward to hearing from you!
