Hi Ontbirders
The birding around Ste.Rose and the Casselman area was great this morning.
Highlights included 4 Snowy Owl along Con. 20, Con.19 and Ste. Rose Road. There
was also 8 Rough-legged Hawk scattered around and a flock of Snow Buntings with
a couple of Lapland Longspur and Horned Lark.
Peter Hogenbirk saw 2 short-eared owls at Bloor and Townline Rd in Oshawa this
morning ... I missed them literally by seconds ... later we saw a long-eared
owl near Oshawa's Second Marsh and had 6 great blue herons in the a small
outlet area in Second Marsh.

perched on the tall tree closest to the adjacent property on Boulevard
Hurtubise.
Good birding!

I saw it 4' off the trail that leads to the east beach from the 42
latitude sign at 11:30AM on Wednesday. With it was an eastern

Hi Ontbirders,
In the last two days there have been two separate Great Gray Owl sightings
west of Almonte and Carleton Place.
Yesterday (Wednesday) a Great Gray was seen and photographed at about 3 pm
on the Upper Perth Road. By 4.30 pm, when we got there, it was gone and it
hasn't been
Hi Ontbirders:
Had part of the day off so paid the Northern Hawk Owl in
Gatineau another visit. The Hawk Owl isn't as particular now to a previous

Hello Ontbirds subscribers,
