Hi Ont-Birders, Apologies for the late posting - yesterday I spotted a Snowy Owl on the southern portion of Ottawa's Central Experimental Farm campus, along Fisher Ave just north of Baseline Road. The individual was perched at the top of a telephone pole just around dusk at 4:25pm and swooped down over an open field flying to the east as I drove by. I expect this individual was headed to the grove around the barn at the end of Ash Lane. It would be great to see it stick around in this area for a few days but who knows...
Cheers, Alex Directions: Take exit 122 from the Queensway at Parkdale Ave in Ottawa. Travel south on Parkdale and turn right at Carling Ave. Veer left shortly thereafter to turn left (south) onto Fisher Ave. Then travel about 0.7 km to McCooey Lane, a seasonal road that bisects the southern side of the Experimental Farm property. The Snowy was spotted on the east side of Fisher near that point. -- Alex MacDonald Manager, Protected Areas Gestionnaire, Régions protégées [email protected] 613-562-3447 ext. 300 | 1-800-267-4088 300-75 Albert Street, Ottawa, ON K1P 5E7 Please consider the environment before printing this email naturecanada.ca | @NatureCanada | youtube.com/NatureCanada1 ________________________________________ From: ONTBIRDS [[email protected]] on behalf of Max Perren [[email protected]] Sent: December 29, 2013 3:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ontbirds] Snowy Owl - P.I.A. There is a Snowy Owl in the northeast corner of Toronto's Pearson International Airport. It is visible from Airport Road and it is in the field north of the active east-west runway. It was sitting on a cement block which was surrounded by tall grass. Pearson Airport is located at the intersection of highways 401 and 427. Airport Rd makes up the eastern boundary of the airport and can be accessed directly from highway 409. -- Max Perren Varsity Lacrosse Upper Canada College 220 Lonsdale Rd Toronto, Ontario 416-488-1125 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
