Hi all,
Either that or the snowies hitched a ride on Santa's sleigh last night.
While scouting my section for the upcoming CBC to be held in the Casselman
area on January 4, I located 5 Snowy Owls between 4:00 pm and 4:40 pm
today. They were again found in their traditional hot spot east of
Casselman.
DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 417 east of Casselman take exit 58 and proceed north on
Cty Rd 8 for about 1 km until you come to Concession 20 in the middle of the
long curve. Turn right (east) on Concession 20 . Right here was a PURE
WHITE adult male on top of a hydro pole. Continue along Conc 20 rd. to the
intersection of Ste-Rose Road. At this spot was a dark individual on top of
a hydro pole. Turn left and proceed north towards Ste-Rose then stop at
intersection of Concession Rd 19. In this area was another dark bird on top
of yet another hydro pole. To find the 4th snowy, turn left (west) on Conc
19 and go to house 2493. On the silo was perched THE DARKEST SNOWY OWL I
have ever seen. It looked like a Hawk Owl with a white face! To get to the
5th and final snowy go back to Ste-Rose Road and drive to the village of
Ste-Rose. At the stop sign turn right (east) on County Road 3 towards
St-Isidore and drive a short distance until you come to house 3021. This
dark Snowy Owl was perched on the TV antenna.
Merry Christmas everyone,
Jacques Bouvier
