20111209 061 Snowy Owl.jpg

Nepean Sailing Club

With the sailboats gone, there is ample room for a Snowy on the docks. It seems to be somewhat out of its normal habitat, but perhaps the lingering ducks, gulls, muskrats etc. provide plentiful nourishment. This is the first time I have ever seen one at the marina and so close to home. They are usually found further off on fence posts or hydro poles near farm fields.
