Posting for Gavin Edmondstone The Trinity College Barred Owl is dead. I found the still warm bird on the ground below its perch this morning before 8 AM. The porter was alerted and someone came to collect the dead bird.
No direction needed.

Indeed, this Friday, Dec.10 a.m. he was on the north path near the roadside for about 40 sec. at 0945; then the rains came. After 35 consecutive days of visiting the site and seeing the bird I may actually "tail off" and let others take over. We suspect that GOLDIE will be more regular at the site once the snows fly. Feel free to email me if you plan to visit to see the bird for the first time-- yes, there are many still going there. The feeding area is near the roadside entry .to the Hall's Rd. path, from the FIRST ROADSIDE PARKING AREA. Doug Lockrey, Whitby
