Early this afternoon a found a male Snowy perched on a boulder
peninsula on the sw corner of Jack Darling Park near the west parking
lot. It flushed and flew along shoreline of Rattray Marsh
Conservation Area heading west and at 2:45 pm I re-located it on a
concrete dock of one of the houses on Watersedge Drive just west of
Rattray Marsh. This is likely the same owl I found about a week ago
less than kilometer north of this location. The Great Blue Heron was
standing on an ice-covered section of the marsh located just across,
and further west, from the Sheridan Creek channel and only visible
from the board walk that overlooks the marsh on the "Knoll walk".
Directions:
For there heron: take Bexhill which runs south of Lakeshore Boulevard
west between Southdown Road and Mississauga Road, park and walk down
the hill to the trail. For the Snowy Owl, I would look in any areas
from Lakeside Park to Jack Darling Park (all of which are located
south Lakeshore between Mississauga Road and Winston Churchill).
