Despite the unusual weather Snowy owls are still at all three
locations in the vegetable fields near Bradford and Holland Marsh as
of yesterday afternoon Feb.8. The two well known locations are along
the dirt strip called Yonge street south of Ravenshoe south of Keswick
(road very muddy!! best traveled when frozen) and West of Hwy 400/9
near the corner of Jane and Edward. The third location joined in
today. I have been checking the very end of Bathurst all winter
without success. Patience and persistence pays off. There was a
heavily barred owl just West of the road behind the last shed on that
side. Take Queensville side road east from Leslie and where it runs
dead into Bathurst turn right. Pictures of that owl available on
request. On none of the owls have I been able to find the ear tufts
Jean Iron recommends we look for. Is there a special way to look?
