Snowy Owls at Keswick

Snowy 1: Female Snowy Owl on 19 December 2012.

 

On Wednesday 19 December Declan Troy and I ventured to the Holland Marsh area 35 minutes north of Toronto and saw at least 11 Snowy Owls. Most were way out on the fields, but three were close to the road. All photos were digiscoped at a safe distance.

 

Snowy 2: A second Snowy with finer markings.

 

Snowy 3: An adult female.

 

Same female as Snowy 1 on top of a farm building making itself look very thin.

 

It was very muddy - not typical Snowy Owl temperatures.
