While walking the trails at the Burrlington (no typo) Outdoor Education Centre just northwest of Kleinburg and southeast of Bolton this afternoon, my wife and I stopped to investigate some fresh owl pellets in the evergreens about 100 metres north of the old red brick school house. Within moments of leaving the main trail, four Long-eared Owls flushed from the trees in front of us. There may have been more, but it was hard to be sure as they moved a few different times. We "followed" just long enough to get a decent look at a perched individual, then let them be.
The B.O.R.C. is located on the north side of Kirby Road, about halfway between Huntington Road and Cold Creek Road, both of which run north from Nashville Road, which is an east-west line that runs between Hwys. 50 on the west and 27 on the east.
