Hello Birders, For those of you who missed the Screech-Owl last Friday I thought I would let you know that the Gray Phase Eastern Screech is back on its Maple Tree at the corner of Laidlaw and Gibb St. in Cannington. The bird was there at 9:00am and should be there till dusk tonight IF not disturbed. He is only about 12 ft above the lawn in an old branch cut.
The homeowners are happy if birders want to come and see their little visitor. He is quite a study in camouflage. Cannington is between Highway 12 and Simcoe St. about an hour north of Oshawa or Whitby. Turn east on RR12 (Cameron St. or west from Simcoe St.) When you reach the corner of Cameron and Laidlaw turn south to Gibb St. The Maple tree is on the lawn of 98 Laidlaw on the south east side. Keep your eyes to the skies. Ray _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
