The Northern Hawk Owl at Brennan's Hill was still present and actively feeding on Sunday, January 28. Photos at http://web.ncf.ca/ed143/northernhawkowl.htm We also saw a small flock of American Tree Sparrows, and a large flock of Snow Buntings in the same general area. Directions courtesy of Bruce Di Labio: north of Ottawa near Brennan's Hill on the Quebec side. It's approximately 60 km (35miles) north of Ottawa. >From Ottawa take Parkdale Ave. exit north off Hwy.417 and go north to the Ottawa River Parkway. Turn right (east) and follow parkway to the Portage Bridge and turn left onto bridge and follow Maisonneuve Blvd. north and watch for Hwy.5 north to Maniwaki. After cross bridge it is approximately 55 Kms to the turn off at Brennan's Hill. The hwy. will change from a 4 lane (Hwy.5) to a 2 lane (Hwy.105) a few times but keep following north through Wakefield, Alcove, and Farrellton before you reach Brennan's Hill. Turn left at Brennan's Hill Restaurant and follow MacDonald Road 8 Kms. Bill & Barbara Bowman
