This morning (Tuesday) while driving north on Hwy. 400 to Bradford I noticed a Snowy Owl sitting in a field on the west side of the highway just north of the 2nd Concession. After my meeting about an hr. later it was still there. I pulled off the highway onto the west side dirt road parallel to the 400 and stopped to view the owl. It appears to be a female or juvenile with lots of black on its back and wings but mostly white on the front and face. Nearby were 2 Horned Larks flying about.
A late report from Monday: While about my business while driving eastbound on Hwy.7( late morning) I observed 6 Red tailed hawks and 2 American Kestrels sitting on either roadside trees, fences or aloft between Dufferin and Bathurst. A very odd concentration.
