You can click on the images to see them full size…..

I belong to a group called Ontario Birds on Facebook,  today was a day in which, people from around Ontario and other parts of Canada, posted their images of waterfowl.  Many lovely images are posted there.  I think these are all of mine from Birdquest.

Snowy Owls – December 19, 2013

I’ve heard that in Eastern Ontario, between Kingston and the Quebec border, there could be upwards of a hundred Snowies, well today I drove almost 60 miles in search of one. I guess I was checking the wrong areas, I only found one.

Rushmore has always been a magnet for Snowy Owls, not sure why, but there always seems to be one in the area.

Not much happening…Ciao for now
