Snowy Owl at Frenchman's Bay in Pickering

A Snowy Owl was on the dock at Frenchman's Bay in Pickering on 14 January 2019. I would like to share with friendly people who were walking their dogs while we watched the Snowy and chatted. This was a bright spot on a dull and dreary winter's day with poor light for photos.

 

The bay is packed with ducks and geese. The Snowy looked in every direction, checking out the ducks. Frenchman's Bay in Pickering on 14 January 2019.

 

The Snowy appears to be a well-marked adult. There is no mottling in the feathers which would indicate a first year bird. Frenchman's Bay in Pickering on 14 January 2019.
