If memory serves me correctly, that's the third Snowy down south in the
past week or so. Considering that Boreals are also on the move already, it
may be a very interesting winter.

[Ontbirds]Snowy Owl on snake
Island, Kingston
10/23/08 04:59 PM
30 minutes ago I flushed a female Snowy Owl from Snake Island in Kingston
Harbour. Upon taking flight it was harassed by several Herring Gulls. It
circled the island a couple times and landed on the south end. It took
flight again, got harassed again and eventually flew off towards Simcoe
Island.
>From the 401 take Sir John A MacDonald parkway south to its end, turn
right. Turn left at the next set of lights and turn into Portsmouth Olympic
Harbour. Go to the Coast guard Search and rescue house and look over the
water to the SW. Snake island is visible in the. Distance and quite small.
