Subject: [Ontbirds] Birding Amherst Island Jan.22/10

Hi Ontbirders
Spent another day birding Amherst Island. The weather was great, nice and sunny
with a light breeze off the lake. We managed to find 3 Northern Saw-whet Owls
and 1 Barred Owl in the "Owl Woods" but unfortunately, no Boreal Owl. I'm sure
its still there but hiding well. No Long-eared Owls were found in the woods, but
3 Snowy Owls were seen on the KFN property at the east end. A small number of
hawks including Red-tailed and Rough-legged, Northern Harrier and a couple of
American Kestrel were seen on the island during the tour.
Good Birding, Bruce
Directions: Amherst Island: Located 18 km. west of Kingston. Exit off Hwy. 401
at exit 593 (County Rd. 4, Camden East) and drive south to the very end
(Millhaven). Turn right on Hwy. 33 and drive 100 metres until you see the sign
for the Amherst Island ferry. The ferry (20 minute trip) leaves the mainland on
the half hour and leaves the island on the hour. Cost is $8.00 Canadian round
trip. There are no gas stations on the island. There are restrooms on the ferry,
and at the island ferry dock. The East End K.F.N. property is at the
easternmost part of the island on the east side of the Lower Forty Foot Road.
Because of liability issues, visitors to the Kingston Field Naturalists'
property at the east end of Amherst Island MUST be accompanied by a KFN
member. For KFN contact information or how to become a member, please visit
