A Snowy Owl can still be seen in a field on the east side of Frank Kenny
just south of French Hill. Due to the lack of snow cover the owl was very
conspicuous while perched on the ground. Later in the evening the Snowy Owl
was found along Wall road between Trim and Frank Kenny. It was actively
hunting and at one point hovered, just like a Kestrel, for at least 10+
seconds. At least two Snowy Owls have spent most of the winter in the area.
The fields nearby are also reliable for observing Northern Harriers and some
other hawks. Last summer a family of American Kestrels were ever present
near Wall and Trim.
Snowy Owl photo taken late today.
