One was perched on the utility wire that crosses Highway 60 at km 22.3 at 8.30 this morning. (This is where the old railway embankment meets the highway, for old-time Algonquin people!)
The owl flew into the woods as the observer watched. As with other sightings of this species here recently, it may not be easy to re-find the bird. Looking near dawn or dusk may be most productive. Ron Tozer Dwight, ON DIRECTIONS: Algonquin Provincial Park is three hours north of Toronto, via Highways 400, 11 and 60. Follow the signs which start in Toronto on Highway 400. >From Ottawa, take Highway 17 to Renfrew, then follow Highway 60 to the park.
