Short-eared Owl Sightings Needed! Bird Studies Canada is asking birders to report any sightings of Short-eared Owls that they see in Ontario this winter; please include: - Your name and contact information - Date and time of sighting - Habitat (grassy field, pasture, marsh, etc.) - Number of birds seen - Behaviour (flying, perching, hunting) - Detailed location of sighting (geographical coordinates preferred) If you would like to report a sighting, or if you're interested in volunteering to monitor known roost sites across southern Ontario (or know of a site that hosts wintering Short-eared Owls), please contact Kathy Jones, 1-888-448-2473 ext.124, volunt...@birdscanada.org<mailto:volunt...@birdscanada.org>. Data from this study will allow the determination of seasonal habitats occupied by the owl, and identify important breeding and wintering sites. Updates on our satellite-tracked owls are available through our Owl Tracker at < http://www.birdscanada.org/research/speciesatrisk/seow/index.jsp?targetpg=owltracker&lang=EN>. Sightings from other provinces can be directed to www.ebird.ca<http://www.ebird.ca>
