I'm happy to report that the Gray Partridge I reported on Tuesday appear to have indeed been of the feathered and mobile variety ... today at the same location (north of Hwy 417 at km 40.8) I saw only two such lumps, in different locations. Hardly great birding, but when it comes to partridge I'll take what I get!
No luck today with the Snowy Owls in the Casselman area - snow was blowing horrendously, and I doubt I would have noticed if a Snowy Owl was being blown around with it. An addendum to Monday's Amherst Island sightings - in addition to the 7 Bald Eagles we observed along the Ivy Lea Parkway, we also saw one on the island. It flew over us near the northwest corner of the KFN property; based on that view we pegged it as a probable 4th year bird, likely the same bird reported by Alex & Karen Scott the day before. Good birding, Marcel Gahbauer Ottawa ON [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Marcel Gahbauer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
