I just had a call from Erwin Meissner who had a solid report of a Great Gray Owl observed last week near Massey about 100 km west of Sudbury. Erwin thought that this might be an early indication of a movement this fall and winter. Small mammal populations may be low in northeastern Ontario based on reports I had last summer.
Erwin, formerly of Massey, is now living in Little Current on Manitoulin Island. He reports good numbers of American Golden-Plovers in wet fields on the island. He welcomes visiting birders and his phone number is 705-368-0161.
