[Ontbirds]The Great Grey Owl invasion continues

[Jonathan Spratley]

On Christmas Day we went for a drive to see if the Great Grey Owls on 
Torbolton Ridge Road that were reported on the 24th were still present. 
In total we saw 7 Great Grey Owls: two near 4165 Torbolton Ridge Road, 
two overlooking the north field at the corner of  Torbolton Ridge Road 
and Kinburn Side Road, and three more south east on Torbolton Ridge 
Road. That is more sightings in one hour than I have seen in the rest of 
my years birding. An unexpected and memorable Christmas present!

We also saw a Bald Eagle at the corner of Riddell Drive and 6th Line 
Road, and a Great Horned Owl along Vance's Side Road east of Dunrobin Road.

Directions: Torbolton Ridge Road is north west of Kanata and can be 
accessed from the Kinburn Side Road. Both Highway 17 (at Antrim) and the 
Dunrobin Road (at Woodlawn) will take you to the Kinburn Side Road
