Hi Everyone Snowy Owls appear to be on the move in eastern Ontario. Since October 18 I’ve received reports of five individuals from scattered locations and on October 31 I saw one west of Ottawa. All birds reported appear to be adults. This is the first time since 1974 that I've observed Snowy Owls in October. During the large irruptions in the winters of 2013/14 and 2014/15 Snowies weren't detected until mid November in our region. There have been reports west of Thunder Bay and in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It will be interesting to see if we have another winter of Snowy Owls.
Yesterday, November 2, I had 4 Common Redpolls and 3 Bohemian Waxwings in Carp. Good birding, Bruce Sent from Windows Mail _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
