Birders,
Again this winter there is at least one raven on the 115 at the 35
junction. With the winter listers and the CBC's I thought it would be useful
information.

Seasons Greetings,
This afternoon while looking for the two Savannah Sparrows previously
reported on the Peel Halton CBC, I found a single Vesper Sparrow in the
same general area. After gripping looks at this bird feeding at the
roadside, it was joined by two Savannah Sparrows, giving excellent
comparisons of both species.
Directions: Get to Britannia and 8th Line in Southeast Milton. Follow
8th Line North for approx 3/4 of a mile. The birds were feeding at the
roadside, between Green house numbers 6361 & 6299. Be "Extremely
Carefull" were you park as there is no adequate pull over areas, and
trucks were using this straight stretch of road as a speedway!
Good luck, and have a safe Xmas,
Dave Don

Attention winter birders: =20
Winter has officially arrived! Bird Studies Canada and the Ontario Barn =
Owl Recovery Program is entering the 3rd year of a wintering Short-eared =
Owl survey in Ontario. We need your help in tracking all observations =
of Short-eared Owls in Ontario over the winter months. =20
Characterized by a distinctive and erratic moth like flight pattern, =
large concentrations of these owls can be observed during the winter =
months in southern Ontario. This owl is listed as a species of Special =
Concern in Canada and little is known about the species nor why they are =
declining. With your help, we hope to increase our understanding of this =
nomadic species. =20
If you see a Short-eared owl in your area, please pass along these =
observations to Bird Studies Canada. Be sure to include: date and time =
of sighting, number of birds, habitat type, geographic location, and =
activity (eg. hunting, roosting, perched). If you were fortunate enough =
to count these owls on your local Christmas Bird Counts, please be sure =
to pass those sightings along.=20
If you are interested in providing more than just casual sightings, and =
have access to a roost site, we are looking for volunteers to monitor =
these locations on a regular (weekly) basis throughout the winter =
months. This information will be used to help determine the number of =
Short-eared Owls overwintering, how long they remain in an area, and =
whether the birds are moving around between roost sites. =20
For more information on how to participate or to report casual =
sightings, please contact Susan Debreceni ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).=20
Happy Holidays,
Susan Debreceni
