To day I went out on to Tommy Thompson Park ( aka the Leslie st spit ) all though I got their a little late , I was lucky to meet up with Big Frank and its always good to have a second pare of eyes , He had heard that a Snow Owl had bin seen out in the park last weekend but we could not refined it today , and we look ever wear that they had bi seen in the past ?? But we did come up with some good birds for the last weekend of Nov. like Goshawk 1 , N Harrier 1, Kestrel 3 , Merlin 1 , Rough lag Hawk 1 , Red Tall hawk 1 , Pipit 1, Bonaparte gull 11 , Tundra swan 3 , Canada Goose 32 , Crackling Goose 1 , Great Horned Owl 1 . A long with all the other winter water fowl, that can regular found a long the lake. It is always worth the walk out on the spit!!
