Hi there, Today (2 February 2016) at 1100 AM I observed 10 Bald Eagles (7 perched along a tree line and 3 in the adjacent field) seen from Concession 21, looking N, just W of Renaud crossroad. The eagles were also seen by looking S from Concession 20, just W of Renaud. Not a rare species but a noteworthy congregation size and something quite striking to see through a scope and/or binoculars so I figured I would post and hope it's of interest. There were countless ravens present at the same site as the eagles and the nearby concession roads held Snowy Owls (7, most of which were immaculate white) and Rough-legged Hawks (5). Photo of the eagles here: http://eontbird.ca/?p=1720.
Directions: Take Hwy 417 E to exit 51; then N on Highland Rd. (County Road 9); then left (west) on Concession 21. Take Concession 21 west past Renaud Crossroad. The eagles were in the field to the N from there. Good birding, Jon eontbird.ca _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
