Great Backyard Bird Count 3 - St Isidore

 February 14, 2021


We cruised Concessions 19, 20 & 21 looking for Snowy Owls and Hawks.  On 21, we soon spotted a Rough-legged Hawk in the distance.






We drove to the end at Ste Catherine, and spotted another roughie near the 417.




We started back on Concession 20, and somehow Barbara spotted a Short-eared Owl on top of one of the hundreds of solar panels.   It was barely visible, but Bill found he got a better look by standing on his stool!






We carried on and cruised Concession 19, ten back east on County Road 3.  In St. Rose, we saw a large flock of House Sparrows and Mourning Doves.





We spotted a large raptor in the distance and got the scope on it - Bald Eagle.  We were able to drive part way down Renaud to get a better look; and we saw 3 eagles, 2 juveniles.






The owner of the nearby farm, came by to check us out.
