Hi All,
The Snowy Owl observed during the St. Catharines CBC yesterday was observed
by my wife and I this afternoon (12/15) at 3:45 pm.
After hearing of the observation at last night's roundup, my wife and I
travelled along Fifth Avenue Louth, in west St. Catharines, in hopes of
observing it. We observed it on the western edge of the ploughed field,
found between Third St. Louth and Fifth St Louth. It is very visible from
1415 Fifth Avenue. We observed the Snowy Owl until 4:45 PM.
2 Northern Harriers were also observed.
Bob Highcock and Jean Hampson
