Karen and I spent several hours in the Owl Woods Friday morning. It is usually the last few days of September that the SAW-WHET OWL migration begins. Sure enough, we found 2 SAW-WHETS in the Pine Woods. Prince Edward Point got their first SAW-WHETS Tuesday night when they banded 16 of them.
There were also numerous other migrants including WHITE-THROATED and WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, both KINGLETS, YELLOW-RUMPED, PALM, NASHVILLE WARBLERS, a REDSTART, TOWHEES, THRUSHES and of course the ever ravenous CHICKADEES without whom, by the way, we would never have found the second SAW-WHET OWL. It took at least 10 minutes to locate it as it was, well hidden and high up. There was also a NORTHERN GOSHAWK in the fields between the Cedar Woods and the Pines.
