Thanks to the City of Richmond, Ducks Unlimited Canada and Environment Canada. A little snip-it from the billboard at the Terra Nova Natural Area: 35 acre site, once farmland, has lain fallow for 20 years. Goal to preserve old field and grassland habitat and providing a diversity of plantings for the benefit of many bird species. 80 species use the habitats with the Terra Nova Park, adjacent to the Sturgeon Banks.

Ottawa - I don't usually post multiple shots of the same species but this photo shows an interesting aspect of GGOW biology. Note the slender branch the bird is perched on and that it is barely bending.The owl weighs only about 1.1 kg which does not seem to match its very large size. This is our largest owl but the bird is a big ball of feathers. By comparison, a Snowy weighs about 2 kg. The photo was taken on a tripod after sunset on a cloudy day with little light left. Very slow shutter speed.

Slender-billed Gulls are rather common in the Mediterranean and are distinguished from Black-headed Gulls by their narrow and long bill (as the name says!)
