Title: Barred owls at Presqu'ile...
Post by: bernie2112 on January 11, 2010, 10:44:35 PM

Greetings!

We finally saw a Barred Owl - thanks to some friendly birders. Along with a Red Tailed Hawk and a Northern Shrike.

A great day for birding!

Presqu'ile Provincial Park is south of Brighton. Take the 401 to exit #509 and head south and follow the signs. There is a bird reports board by the daily parking lot.

Cheers,

Bernie

Some excellent photos.

I'm headed to Presqu'ile on Friday and hope to see some of these barred owls I've been hearing and seeing so much of... as well as many others of course.

Cheers -Tim-
