Having read Ron Fleming's description of the male Snowy Owl near us, my son and I set out around 1pm today to have a look for what would be a lifer for each of us.
After scouting out the area for about half an hour, we found the white adult male sitting on the ground very close to where Ron described seeing it, just south of Tornado Drive, just west of Keele Lane. The snow is disappearing rapidly, making him stand out very well. Also saw a Kestrel on the wires along Wist Road (first of the year for us), and two Red-Taileds where Wist meets Canal Road. Quite a few Horned Larks flying around as well. Thanks very much to Ron for the directions! Steve McAllister - Newmarket
