A drawing of an owl in brown marker on the back of a field form, species is indeterminant but I am leaning towards Burrowing Owl due to the legs.

Look what one of our youngest #Ontario #OwlSurvey #Volunteers sent in on the back of the data form. Note that dad was driving and recording the owl data.

Tammie had two great owl surveys near Manitouwadge #Ontario. In addition to hearing owls she had this...

It looks like you had a great night (even with no owls).
Thanks so much for surveying Roxanne
Love the moon shot BTW.

It's night time and the full Moon is high and bright, shining on the trees and the snow. An owl survey volunteer is wearing an orange reflective vest and is standing with his clipboard near a very high snow bank.

A close up photo of the April 12 full Moon against the night sky taken during our owl survey near Timmins, in northern Ontario.

The photo shows the dark blue night sky with many stars shinning bright, and a thin line of white cloud forming low along the horizon. A few conifer trees are standing apart in the foreground. This was one of our owl survey stations, near an old forestry cut, in northern Ontario.

At one of our last stops during our owl survey route, the road is bordered with snow banks and tall trees, and the full Moon is still very bright behind a thin layer of clouds. A volunteer wearing a reflective vest is going to get our traffic security post on the road ahead.

It was a calm and quiet night for our #BirdsCanada Northern Ontario Nocturnal #OwlSurvey last night, near #TimminsOntario. The full Moon was amazing! 🌕 We did not hear any owls, but the absence of owls is still important data. What a beautiful night! #Birds @volunteer4birds.bsky.social

Best of luck to the Ontario Nocturnal Owl Surveyors who start listening for #Owls tonight!

Image of a central Ontario Nocturnal Owl Survey showing data from the first 5 stops. This data included 13 Barred Owls in total some listed as heard and other seen. Most were up close and near the surveyors.

Colleen and Wanda's #fieldnotes mention "A perfect night for owling."
Based on their data they certainly had a great survey. The data forms are very well done, which is appreciated when there is this much data.
See www.birdscanada.org/on_owls to learn about the #OwlSurvey project.

Three Central Ontario data form with, in total, 17 different owls reported

I am starting to review owl data. So far it looks like people in eastern Ontario had a lot of fun surveying this spring. We shall see what the analyses tell us. #OwlSurvey birdscanada.org/on_owls

This roadside Northern Hawk Owl surprised Roy and ... Roy might have surprised the owl. They happened upon each other about 5 km outside of a northern Ontario community.

Sometimes you drive down the right road at the right time. Friday at 4 pm was one of those times for #OwlSurvey participant Roy. (he is also far enough north that they still have snow) birdscanada.org/bird-science... birdsontario.org/special-surv... #birds #owls
