Birded the Dunrobin area west of Ottawa for owls this afternoon (January 29, 2009). The Boreal was a no-show, but there was a small flock of Pine Grosbeaks in its place along March Valley Road.
Further along, on Fifth Line, we watched a Pileated Woodpecker working on a hydro pole. Turning left onto Vance's Side (towards Dunrobin Road), we spotted a Great Gray Owl in the trees just off the road at the first house on the right (search "45.458208,-76.022542" in Google Maps). Turning right along Dunrobin Road, we scared off three Wild Turkeys when we slowed down to have a look at them. Not a bad day...
