Great shots; I too like the LEO in flight.  I am so tempted to go back and try again to see a Saw whet.  I imagine it will be busy over the weekend.  Hmmmmmm ...

There are 2 NSWO's in owl woods, I met about a dozen people their today. Do they ever get NSWO's at  Leslie Street Spit, that would be a easy drive for you compared to Amherst Island.

its claimed there is a NSWO at the Spit.
i've never seen any sort of owl at the spit (but this year is my first year of really checking).

I should check out the spit; I drove right by there today.  I was so darn cold after walking Colonel Sam Smith Park & Humber Bay, all I could think about was getting warm.  It is such a long walk at the spit - great in good weather.  Does anyone know if the van runs in the winter :) ?
