Two Birders from Hamilton:
Selkirk Provincial Park:
"This is the third trip here looking for a Saw-whet Owl, "I dont think i can
look at another Pine tree"
Friday was a slow day, all the regulars were missing, Great Horned Owls,
Red-Bellied Woodpeckers only the small regular birds were present.
The drive to the park was better than the park it's self, 20 plus Red Tails,
2 Rough-legged and one Northern Harrier.
Fisherville Raptor Preserve:
Today was a good day at the owl fields considering the amount of snow cover
still remaining in the fields, We covered only one quarter of our normal
route and disrupted 60 plus Short-eared Owls (the highest count todate in
one visit is 109).
Seeing the Short-eared Owls in the Owl Field on 6th. Concession is hit and
miss as the birds move from field to field throughout the area.
During the spring migration numerous Red-winged Black Birds and Eastern
Meadowlarks also come through these fields.
On Route: we stopped to check the two Osprey nests along the Grand
River(corner of reg.road 54 and Stoney Creek rd. on the hydro poles) " no
activity but we'll be watching"
"Happy
Trails"
