If this is a public road I object to the closing of this part of Yonge St the reason for my objection and probably for the many more bird watchers is that we have often found recorded and photographed significant sightings of birds that require the open field, high grass, marshland and river frontage which are common to this Southern part of Yonge St. In winter, and it was upsetting to have the road made inaccessible this past winter the fields are major habitat for Snowy Owls. The closure prevented an accurate summary of their activity.
I shall also post my objections on the web sight for Ontario Federation of Ornithologists I do not believe that the use of Yonge street in any ways harms the farming business Irving Himel B.A's Management 3636 Weston Rd. toronto M9L 1W2 416 748 4996 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
