Spent a couple of hours in the Owl Woods this morning. There were 4 SAW-WHET OWLS and at least a dozen LONG-EARED OWLS, 3 of which stayed put and gave good views.
Also of note: BOREAL OWLS are on the move this year to north of us, and one was reported near Ottawa on September 29th, I believe one of the earliest recorded dates for up there. This is also the 4th year in their typical 4 year cycle of irruptions. Watch THE OWL WOODS site, http://members.tripod.com/joey_2002-ivil/ for continuing updates as they are available. The ferry to Amherst Island is located in Millhaven Ontario, just west of Kingston, at the south end of what used to be Highway 133. Alex.
