Today, Robbie Preston and I had the pleasure of escorting the daughter of a friend and former employee of the late Rudolph Altberg around on the trails of the Altberg Wildlife Sanctuary , we were rewarded with the calling of two Barred Owls. One was high in the trees, just north of the junction of the orange trail and the east arm of the red trail, and the other was on the east side of the beaver ponds, bordering the eastern boundary of the reserve.
Also heard and/or sighted were Least Flycatcher,Black Capped Chickadee, Ovenbird, Bluejay, Eastern Wood Peewee, Wood Thrush, Common Raven, Common Yellowthroat, Cedar Waxwing, Hairy Woodpecker, Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, Black & White Warbler and American Robin. The Altberg Wildlife Sanctuary is on the south side of Monck Road, halfway between Norland and Kinmount. Follow Highway 35 north of Lindsay to Norland, then Monck Road East to #4164. Happy Haunting!:-}}} Judy Kennedy, Lindsay. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
