Hi.
I wanted to add that a trip to Amherst Island last weekend found 4 - 5
Long-eared Owl in the owl woods. In addition to other birds, I watched as a
Northern Harrier dove to the ground and flew off with a sizeable rodent in
its talons. It was followed by another Northern Harrier which after a short
time went its own way. Although I saw a few hawks including Red-tail there
was not much raptor activity that I could see. At dusk I had a good look at
several Short-eared owls hunting, with two of them flying very close to the
road (south of Stella). I found their flight entrancing to watch. Just a
reminder that access to the owl woods will be closed to the public from
November 24 to December 4 due to deer hunting.
