Screech in the Park

I went looking for birds in the snow today, there wasn't a whole lot of activity but the ones I did find were very co-operative. There was even a screech owl that seemed to be using a bird feeder as shelter from the snow, the chickadees were not impressed.

Northern Hawk Owl in Peterborough

There has been a Hawk Owl in Peterborough for several days now so I went to check it out. It was very actively hunting along the trail and often flew above observers. These are the photos I got.

First Snow

It hasn't really snowed all that much around where I live yet this year, but this past weekend I headed north and it wasn't long till I found some snow. Usually I am after birds but on Saturday there weren't many around so decided to have some fun with the landscapes. Thanks for looking!

On the hunt for a Barred Owl

 There have been many barred owls seen lately near lake Ontario, so I thought I would go have a look. I didn't think it would work out for me but I did manage to find a mixed flock of redpols and tree sparrows down in Newcastle area, and at the end of the day a Barred Owl was sitting in a tree on the side of the road waiting for me...

Rememberance Day Weekend

I had some free time this weekend and had a look around Long Sault conservation area and Newcastle on Saturday and went down to Presqu'ile on Sunday. Seen the first Snowy owl for the season fairly late in the day on Sunday at Presqu'ile near gull island here are some shots and some others birds that were around:
