My apologies for this late report. While in Kingston for other personal reasons this past weekend on Sunday, April 8 I took a quick 1 hour excursion to Wolfe Island to survey Snowy Owls. Given the very limited time available I only traveled on Hwy 96 from Marysville east approx. 15km and then back to Marysville. 4 Snowy Owls were located. My assessment is 2 were females, one was a male and the 4th was an immature female. 2 were on the ground, one was a hay bail and the fourth was on a stump. Also seen on this stretch of road were 2 Turkey Vultures, 1 hunting Red-tailed hawk. Also had a glimpse of a Tree Swallow at a cow pasture pond.
