Around 3:30pm, a Barred Owl was spotted sitting on a hydro line on Fernbank Road. It was quite jumpy and took off into deeper woods.
Direction: To get to Fernbank you can take Jinkinson Road off of Hwy 7 just past Stittsville. Turn left on to Fernbank. The owl was about 1Km up the road on the north side.

It flew directly overhead at 125m altitude, an awesome sight. It proceeded westward, but was not seen again. It was seen at the cemetary near Horne's Point on the south shore of Wolfe Island. Noteably, there is another recent report of a white Gyrfalcon at the same location. Elsewhere on Wolfe Island, a Red-tailed Hawk was sitting on a nest. A Great-horned Owl was sitting on a nest. Two Snowy Owls and only two Rough-legged Hawks were seen. Many Horned Larks, and hundreds of Snow Buntings were at the west end. Redwing Blackbirds and Brown-headed Cowbirds were seen along the 8th Line. Wolfe Island is still completely ice-bound, so few waterfowl were seen. DIRECTIONS: the Wolfe Island Ferry from Kingston Harbour is free. After departing the Wolfe Island dock, proceed to the village of Marysville, then take Hwy #95 south 10 km to the vicinity of Horne's Point. Best Pishes, Ken Kingdon KINGSTON
