A trip down to T.T.P. today was very rewarding with 3 Great Horned Owls and 1 GREAT GREY OWL. Other birds of interest was Surf and W.W. Scoters and a pair of Song Sparrows. Beware as a Coyote came within twelve feet of me while I was watching one Great Horned Owl. Good birding to all Ian Stanley Bramalea, Ontario From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 12 16:59:55 2005 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: from tomts5-srv.bellnexxia.net (tomts5.bellnexxia.net [209.226.175.25]) by king.hwcn.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2346464352 for <[email protected]>; Sat, 12 Feb 2005 16:59:55 -0500 (EST) Received: from newdell ([64.231.209.59]) by tomts5-srv.bellnexxia.net (InterMail vM.5.01.06.10 201-253-122-130-110-20040306) with SMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for <[email protected]>; Sat, 12 Feb 2005 17:01:02 -0500 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Monica Connolly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2005 17:01:06 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1437 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1441 Subject: [Ontbirds]Robins north of Oshawa X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2005 21:59:55 -0000
In the early afternoon today, a flock of 20 or more robins were flying above the trees beside Ritson Rd, between the 7th and 8th concession roads north of Oshawa. Ritson Rd. runs N-S right through Oshawa north to the Oak Ridges Moraine; there is a Ritson Road exit on the 401, or you can intersect it farther north. The 7th concession is also known as the Columbus Road, and runs E_W about 12 km north of the 401. Are the birds all crazy? Early Feb. and we've got owls from the north and robins and red-wings from the south!! Monica Connolly Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. - Albert Einstein
