A follow up to an earlier report from Eric Single on these Owls at Bronte.. We found the single owl near Parking lot A, in the trees just north of the last laneway into the lot.. a tight group of large pines is where we viewed it this morning. Also, 7 owls were found in the woods where the un-leashed dog area is, at the south end of the park., we walked throught the woods on a well travelled path used by dog owners., in the photo link below, the owl was watching a woman and 2 very large dogs walk along the path, and was un-disturbed, (pic was taken Monday)
http://www.pbase.com/raymondjbarlow/image/75564373 I am not sure how long these owls will stay around Bronte, if anyone can advise me on their migration patterns, I would appreciate an email. Also, thanks to everyone who posted very nice comments on some of the pictures on my website, and for the complimentary emails, much appreciated. Bronte Creek PP is just north of the QEW on Burloak in west Oakville., a $12.00$ admision and $9.50 for seniors is requested., there is a maple syrup festival going on this week for March break., along with other activities. Also, thanks to Eric Single for the report. Raymond J Barlow 13 Sandra Crescent Grimsby Ontario Canada L3M 4Y8 www.rayswildlife.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Other species of several types were there but they are not uncommon for this time of the year. Directions: To reach Presqu'ile Provincial Park, follow the signs from Brighton.
