I've attached a link to the area the owl was last seen below. http://maps.google.ca/maps?client=safari&rls=en&q=1643+McCain,+Kingsville+on&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x883adda9c632c131:0x3c32df6c895fb4d0,1643+McCain+Side+Rd,+Kingsville,+ON+N9Y+2E4&gl=ca&ei=6wr1TqDyLKfZ0QGfqODFAg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CB0Q8gEwAA >From Leamington, take County Rd 20 (Seacliff Drive) west through Kingsville. >You'll pass Pleasant Valley Campground on the north, the next road is McCain >Side Road. Turn north on McCain and continue down the road approx 2 km. >You'll see address marker 1643 on the west side of the road, the bird was last >seen at the north end of that property along the edge of a farm field. We watched the bird until we lost the light. I was actively feeding throughout the time I was watching it and we're hoping it might stick around. I plan to head out to look for the owl in the morning, before I head to work. I will post the results, whether the bird is seen or not. Good birding everyone Sarah Sarah Rupert Leamington ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
