Hi all,
Yesterday (Jan 12) we made our 3rd foray to the Cuddy/Seed area and after
quite a lot of driving Emily spotted a nice male Snowy Owl sitting pretty on
the open short grass near a few remnants of snow. The field was east of School
Line, north of house #29654 - first north of
of this bird? Warm weather the next
few days gives it some short term chance of survival but winter will return
soon enough, so time is somewhat critical. Any suggestions? Cheers!
