Hello Ontario Birders....As Western NY Birders, many of us down here and throughout NY State and beyond in the U.S. watch your postings of Owls and other Raptors in particular at Amherst with keen interest and the resulting temptation to make the trek there. I know that most of you must also be seeing good numbers of waterfowl near the shoreline that is ice-free also, but rarely mentioned. Possibly the island is locked in by ice, I just know that when I have been there I have seen large numbers of Waterfowl along the South Shores in particular. Just asking that you might also include these sightings with your postings when at Amherst.

Thank you,
Bob Beal
Greece, NY

Hi again:


I forgot to mention, we observed a male RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER a ways off the trail leading into the Owl Woods, approximately 300 meters from the feeders at the entrance.
