This afternoon at 4:00pm I located a Northern Saw-whet Owl in the Clyde Avenue Woods. The bird was roosting 15 feet up in a cedar tree. The owl was in the southwest corner close to the foot path and owl sign was present. A Coopers Hawk was also in the woods.
Directions: Clyde Avenue Woods does not appear as a name on maps but it is the name given by Ottawa birders to the woods that border the Carlington Resevoir/Quarry on the south side. From the 417 east or west, exit Maitland Avenue south and proceed to the second set of lights. Turn left and left again on Castlehill. Take Castlehill to the end and park adjacent to the woods. Check cedars for migrant owls. Chris Traynor 26 Crofton Road Ottawa, On 721-9197 chris traynor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
