A LINCOLN'S SPARROW was found today at 1773, Front Rd. in Fishers Glen south of Simcoe. It was coming to the feeder together with many other sparrows, and other birds. A CAROLINA WREN was also seen in the yard. To reach Fishers Glen from Simcoe take Hwy 24 south and then west. Turn south on Fishers Glen road and then right onto Front Rd.
Three EASTERN BLUEBIRDS were still in the Waterford area, north of Simcoe on Concession 7 between Hwy 24 and Regional Rd 24, and still feeding on sumac. Another two CAROLINA WRENS were in Shell Park, Oakville, by the allotments east of the car park. To reach Shell Park from the QEW turn south on Bronte to Lakeshore Drive. Turn right and follow Lakeshore to the well signed park entrance. We could not find the Pine Warbler.

The 2 BOREAL OWLS remain. The more northerly one of the two tends to prefer to be high up, difficult to find at times, and definitely difficult to see well. Lately its preferred roosts are just beyond the feeders. The other one is most frequently found in the last cedars on the right as you leave the Cedar Woods toward the Pines. The GREAT GRAY OWL is still present too. Its preferred roost seems to be in the North-west section of the Pine Woods. We were unable to locate the lone SAW-WHET OWL that seems to make the occasional appearance. There were about 7 LONG-EARED OWLS roosting around the Owl Woods and there about 10 SHORT-EARED OWLS in and around the KFN property at the east end of the Island. The SNOWY OWL was also present at the KFN property. Alex. and Karen Scott
