Hi Ontbirders, For the record, there were at least three Great Gray Owls in the Kinburn Side Road & Torbolton Ridge Road area this morning (Monday) around 10h:30. All were active & hunting. In the same area there was one Northern Shrike & a flock of 50+ Bohemian Waxwings. The male Barrow's Goldeneye was at Remic Rapids on the Ottawa River. Good 2005 birding!

Wiyh patience and/or decision to return a few times over the course of a day you will likely find a bird which has been elusive for many folk lately. >From 2p.m. onward on Monday, Dec.3, the SANDHILL CRANE could be seen strutting about by himself in the waters just west of the Brock St.S. bridge. Also seen --Hooded Mergansers, Buffleheads, Goldeneyes, Common Mergansers, a Pintail , a male Belted Kingfisher and many Mute Swans. >From the 401, go south down Brock St. in Whitby, through Dundas, another 1 km. to a "causeway bridge"--park your car and have a feast. This AM I did my utmost to try to keep camera-buffs from closing in on, indeed flushing, owls along Hall's Rd., while enjoying Rough-legged Hawks and a Pileated Woodpecker along Hall's Rd.
