The snowy owl was seen again this morning at 11:10 hunting in the wet lands on the south side of McPhail Rd. He's been MIA for a week or more so could be a different bird.
The ice breaker was through so all the usual suspects are on the water front including bald eagles, mute swans, and the spring migration is going strong. During the snow storm last week red poles were observed taking food out of the beaks purple finch. Hundreds of juncos. A real mix of winter and summer birds all over the region. The black poll was seen again after the snow storm. Bruce Mines is about 3 hours west of Sudbury on highway 17. To get to McPhail go north on 638 over the tracks and turn right on McPhail. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
