male
Amherst Island - and finally, one in the air. The ice was thick and filled in the channel as soon as we passed. Ducks are being restricted to remaining open water on the Great Lakes. Only Lake Ontario still has substantial water but the eastern end is frozen in.

Amherst Island - a very striking quartet of males. These birds were stunning up close.

St. Rose - I call this one white on white. The day had very poor sky conditions but can it ever really be a bad day to take a Snowy picture? At least it wasn't on a pole.

juvenile
St. Isidore - apparently this bird is a regular at this roadside stop. On this day I could see one of its associates atop another Petro Canada sign at the same station.

female, juvenile
St. Rose - In my ongoing hunt for variety in Snowy Owl shots I came across this very dark juvenile female atop a fencepost. I rarely see birds at that level and the fact that she was cooperative enabled me to approach reasonably close without flushing. I used the car as a blind.

male, adult
St. Isidore - I thought I'd include a novelty shot. First time I've had a good look at a Snowy Owl's tongue.
