Ontbirders,
An article titled "Cackling Goose, NOT new to Ontario" by Ken Abraham is on
the website of the Ontario Field Ornithologists. Ken is a research
scientist specializing in geese with the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources. The article is the best information about Cackling Geese (Branta
hutchinsii) in the province. It discusses the status and distribution
including two range maps showing band recoveries locations, identification,
and outlines the problem of Branta canadensis parvipes. There are three
photos of Cackling Geese including two from the breeding grounds on
Southampton Island and Baffin Island in Nunavut. The article was first
published in the February 2005 issue of OFO News 23(1):2-6. To view the

At noon today I observed a Boreal Owl roosting in the Parrott Bay
Conversation Area. This is located off Bath Road before the Amherst
Island ferry & is on the right side with a large sign in the parking lot.
Follow the main trail in and stay to the left for maybe 75-100 meterers.
The owl is located on a dead tree branch located directly over the main
trail.
