A heavily-barred Snowy Owl was preening in a field on Yonge St. south
of Ravenshoe Rd. around 1:30 this afternoon.
There were two flocks of Snow Buntings, of around 10 and 40 birds
respectively, a handful of tree sparrows and a non-male Harrier in
the same general area.
From the corner of Leslie St. and Ravenshoe Rd. proceed west on
Ravenshoe to where it meets the dead-end stub of Yonge St. at a T
intersection. Turn left (south) and drive almost to the end, past
the last shed. The bird was on the east side, in the snow covered
field. It was five spans, so to speak, from the south end of the
irrigator, and well back in the field.
