Hi Birders,
After checking out the Partridges at Brantford airport,
we were heading down to see the Short Eared Owls.
We found them, could not count them, but I estimate that
there were a minimum of ten flying around and perching.
Direction from Jarvis on HW 6 south of Hamilton: take HW 3 east go right
on regional road 53 and left on concession road 6.
Across from the Raptor Reserve on concession road 6.
After seeing the Short Eared Owls, we went down to Nanticoke Power Generating Plant
to see the Bald Eagles, John Miles reported about.
We found one adult sitting on a tree along the road, as we were driving down
towards the Lake, giving as close but blinding view,
almost straight against the sun.
On the lake there were two immature Bald Eagles, sitting on the ice.
Coming back from the shore one more immature Bald Eagle
flew towards the lake.
Also, one Rough-legged Hawk one Northern Harrier and one juvenile Cooper's Hawk
and great many Red-tailed Hawks were seen in the vicinity.
Have a great birding,
Karl & Marienna Egressy
