We saw a GGO on Sixth Line Road west of Ottawa today at 4pm. It flew across a field and landed in a tree near the road on the north side about midway between the road into Pinhey Point and Thomas Dolan road. Got several pictures within about 25 feet. Directions: Proceed west from Ottawa along March Road to Dunrobin Road. Exit right from Dunrobin Road at Riddell which goes north toward river, turning left at the end of Riddell onto Sixth Line Road. Proceed west past Pinhey Point road and scan the open fields to the right.

On my way home this evening, I exited the Robert Moses Parkway at the Fort Niagara exit. Shortly after passing under the overpass that carries the southbound lanes, I was surprised to see two Eastern Meadowlarks sitting in one of the small trees to my left in the grassy triangle formed by the roads. As I watched they flew back and forth between the trees, occasionally dropping down into the grass. This an area where they are seen quite regularly in the spring and summer, but not in the first week of February. Bill Broderick Youngstown, NY
