20090106 090 Snowy Owl - SERIES.jpg

Ottawa

Two images of a the third Snowy Owl spotted the afternoon of the 6th. These were the first Snowies I had seen this Winter and the first in two years for this area of farmland within the City of Ottawa. I have been back there three time since and have not been able to locate them again. Others have, however, reportedly spotted one or two over the last few days. Some days one just gets lucky.

You may have walked right by these well camouflaged birds on occasion and not even have known it, Hank.
