Bowmanvile 697-2546 The year of the Horned OwI It seems ta be die year of thc Homed Owl for us for up ta this point it bas been twa nestings recorded and bath witb young. ILt is flot tbat we have been specifically looksng for Horned Owl nests. It is a matter that we have been directed ta their locations. 1The first came a couple of weeks ago in wbat is called Tbickson Woods in soutb Wbitby, a small tbree or four acre bush but one that bas a lot of birds passing tbrougb or staying for the summer. The nest had two young and it was attracting a lot of intcrest for the birders. It was located bigh in a white pie. The othier camec on Saturday, when Bll Buntîng beard of a nest in the soutb of the troc nursery property just outside the village. ILt wasn't that difficult ta find but wc could sec no Homed Owls in evidence and were walking away from the location wben a Horned Owl flew across a field te settle in a pine. t wasn't anly our eyes that had caugbt the fligbt of the owl but that of at least five or six crows. They. had a lot more ta say about the movement of the owl than did we. They made a great ruckus diving at the owl coming within feot of its pcrcb near thc top of a pinc -but comfortably beside the ltre trunk ILt certainly appeared that the wisc aId bird was accustomed, ta thc attack by thc crows. It hardly blinked an eye lid or at lcast we cxpcctcd it didnt, so unconcerned did it pcrch there. There bas been occasions in the past that we have heard an outcry from a pack of crows but were nover able ta fmnd out wbat Ït was all about. The next time we wil take a dloser look - it might bc another owl. Sunday a.m. was spent in tripping around in thc Darlington Provincial Park but for a Swamp Sparrow and of course thc usual run of birds alI was quiet. There was a time Uiat Uic shoreline in this location did provide a, habitat for shore birds but tbat bas l cbanged over the past six or seven years. Tbey do have a nature walk at the park that runs alongside a water course on Uic east side of the property. t was here a number of years ago that I bad sîgbted a numbor of Winter Wrens in the spring migration and as, Bill is still looking for bis 300th bird species we played a visit ta Uic walk. 1The birds were ce rtainly silent but we were trcated witb a fine sbowing of Trout Lilies or wbat some caîl Adder's Tangue. Neyer have we seen sucb large patches of this beautiful spring wildflower. Generally tbey are spaced at a distance but flot on this occasion tbey existed in sizeable patches and ail of a*good size. Just ready ta bloomn out were the Marsb Marigolds or Cow Slips. The Marsh Marigolds bave been out in blooma in thc Orono area for aimost a couple of weeks but due ta thc modcrating effect of Lake Ontario bloomn takes a littie longer break eut. This is also noted with the leaves on Uic tes, they budout a' little later. t is aise, getting a little later as ta putting titis issue of Uic Times te bed.
