Big White Owl from the Tundra

Records show it’s been some time since I’ve traveled any back roads in search of Snowy Owls. All due to the fact that there had been Great Gray activity combined with poor weather conditions.

Snowy numbers had been good early in the season with 8-12 sightings per trip…with some owls tending to be photographic while others very easily spooked.

Reports have indicated that the number of sightings has dropped off which is normal.

Recent snow,winds,doom and gloom has put owling on hold…this morning we are sitting at a balmy -10c and a decent forecast.

I think it’s about time for a little out-n-about trip…just sayin.
