Cornwall - Bird at nest site at dawn. It had been feeding its single 10-day old chick a cottontail rabbit. This must have been a very late nesting.

Eastern Ontario - This is not a local bird. It is a subspecies from the North, A Snyder's Great Horned Owl, which sometimes migrates south in the winter, especially when snowshoe hares have a low population. It is a rare occurrence. This subspecies lacks the rich browns of southern birds, having an overall grayer appearance. It is also less intimidated by humans, more like a Barred Owl. Our local Great Horned Owls are very skittish.

Pointe-Yamachiche - The bird was perched on a fallen tree at eye level, a rare view for this species. It was late in the afternoon so it was very alert but not yet hunting.

A chance encounter, the owl was not impressed.

I took a couple of shots and respectfully exited the scene.

Looking out across a small lagoon, we could see this owl from far away as it stood out against the backdrop of the moss and foliage. Billy Frank Nisqually NWR, Washington.
