After last night's mean-spirited rant, here's the bird of the week: the Long-Eared Owl. There are supposed to be four of these guys hanging around the Burlington Outdoor Recreation Centre north of Toronto, but we only saw three. B.O.R.C. is located in kind of a wasteland of industrial dumping stations and train yards, mixed in with farms. Lot's of midnight dumping of refrigerators and stoves into nearby gullies also. Between that and the stupid ATVs roaring around, aren't we a charming species? Still, it's amazing to find these beautiful creatures and the occasional Northern Shrike in such a place.
