On Saturday Jan. 28th a beautiful sleepy-looking BARRED OWL was seen at
3pm close to the road 2/3 up a deciduous tree on the north side of Hwy.
504 west of Apsley, about 2km past the first 80km/hr sign as one heads
out of town, just as one is beginning to drive down a fairly large hill.
Two GGO's were located about 7-10 minutes south of Madoc the same day.
Around 4:25pm a GREAT GRAY OWL was seen on the east side of Hwy 62 south
of Madoc, about 5km? south of the Two Loons Restaurant, just north of
the driveway where a little green sign says 13040. He was right next to
the highway sitting on the telephone wires, attempting to locate prey in
the ditch beiside the road.
At 4:35pm a second GREAT GRAY OWL was spotted on the north side of Wood
Rd, about 2km west of Hwy 62, partway up a hill. At the top of the hill
is a very blue house. The bird was sitting 2/3 the way up the tree,
which was next to the road. Sunday late morning, we did a quick check
for the Wood road owl but alas, he was not at his spot.

Hi.
Took a quick trip to Amherst Island Saturday. Saw one boreal owl =
sitting high up a tree (on a previous trip the two boreal owls were =
perched much lower). The boreal didn't make for as much good viewing =
this time due to its height off the ground but the Saw-whet owl (a first =
for me) could be seen from a real good vantage point. It was perched =
just above head level. Both owls were seen in the "owl woods". Later =
in the afternoon, I saw an owl hunting near, in around the KFNC fields. =
Not sure if it was a long-eared or a short-eared. =20
Sunday was amazing for viewing the Great Gray owls along both March =
Valley road and Klondike. Although it was sunny the owls were quite =
active even to 12:30pm. They are even active along Klondike now =
(compared to what I use to see) from March valley to well past the =
railroad tracks. Saw quite a few owls along Klondike and very near the =
road.

Four of us traveled to Amherst Island, only to learn that the island is
literally devoid of voles-- hence, very few owls and hawks. We saw none of
either between 10AM and 2PM.
On the way home we had great views of the "resident" Hawk Owl along county
road 2, just we sat of Welcome--he was on a hydro wire on the south side,
then on the north side before flying off to perch atop a pole in a field.
Just before dusk we viewed 2 Short-eared Owls (beautiful ghosts of the
night) traversing low over the fields norh and south of the Lake Shore Rd.,
perhaps 3 km. west of Port Granby. There were also at least 3 Great Gray
Owls in the same vicinity.
From the west exit 401 at Newcastle, south down Mill St. to Bond Head, then
east several km. along Lake Shore Rd., over the wooden trestle bridge-- then
start looking.
