Hi Everyone
The Boreal Owl was present today in the "Owl Woods". It was about 175
paces past the feeder in a grove of White Cedars on the left. It was first
observed early in the morning by Tom Hince and group and later at 1:15pm in
the same location. Also, a Great Gray Owl was in the Jack Pine Plantation
and two Snowy owls, one on the K.F.N. Property and the second just south of
Stella.

Located 18 km. west of Kingston. Exit off Hwy. 401 at exit 593 (County Road
4, Camden East) and drive south to the very end (Millhaven). Turn right on
Hwy. 33 and drive 100 metres until you see the sign for the Amherst Island
ferry. The ferry (20 minute trip) leaves the mainland on the half hour and
leaves the
island on the hour. Cost is $5.00 Canadian round trip. There are no gas
stations on the
island.
The East End K.F.N. property is at the easternmost part of the island.
Enter through the gate at the south end of the Lower Forty-Foot Road.
Snowies are often seen from the road.
To reach the Owl Woods, turn left (east) at the four-way stop sign by
the general store and drive 3.4 kilometres along Front Road to the
(seasonal)
Marshall Forty-Foot Road. Marshall Forty-Foot Road is across the road from
house #2320. Drive along Marshall Road to the mid-way point, where there is
an "S" in the road
(1.2 kilometres , look for the K.F.N. kiosk). Park in the gravel lane or
off the road edge. If the road is closed due to snow drifting you have to
make the 1 km or so walk in. Today both entrances were open and you
could drive to the :Owl Woods"..
