Beauharnois - spotted two of them fishing. Interesting with the icy setting.

Lancaster - This may look like just another Snowy Owl but for me it is special. This is #175. I would never have believed that milestone could be achieved in one season but it was reached and surpassed today by several more. I have never seen this many in my life before, much less seeing them in one winter.

Hamilton - There are hundreds of Mutes along Lake Ontario and although originally an introduced species, they are wild breeders.

Russell - These birds are getting to be harder to find. Years ago we thought that "every" good woodlot had a resident Great Horned Owl. Not so anymore. There was a stiff wind blowing as this female incubated her eggs.

Cobourg - This is a winter like no other. A while ago I set a goal of hopefully seeing 100 Snowies this winter. I surpassed that target some time ago and have spotted 150 in Eastern Ontario alone with a few in other parts of the province like this bird. It would be possible to see 175 In Eastern Ontario but it would take some work and a lot more driving.There will be many fond memories.

I anticipated that we would start to see birds returning from the U.S. around mid-month. Last night in Cornwall I found an old adult male, no visible marks, atop a light (so I could clearly see it with binoculars even at 10 p.m.) This is a new bird locally. Keep your eyes open for more arrivals.
