300 Bird Challenge The Owls of Amherst Island

Birding on Amherst Island as part of the 300 Bird Challenge. We see if we can add any raptors, including hawks and owl species, to our 2024 Big Birding Year. Will we find anything in the Owl Woods? Can we finally get eyes on a Short-eared Owl? Or will it be another bust?

Subscriber and birding friend Nancy joins us on our trip. Thanks to Jamie for being a good sport and letting me have some banter by calling him our "birding nemesis".

*** I have made an oversight in this video. The Owl Woods are private property and the owners' ask that the locations of owls are not live-reported. In this video, I show a Barred Owl within the woods. Although there is a 2.5 week gap between the sighting and the release of this video, that is likely not long enough. Typically, when I show Owl species, I am vague about the location. Apologies for slipping up on this occasion. ***

THANKS EVERYONE FOR HELPING US TO GET TO 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! We really appreciate it.
