Mother Nature just can’t make up her mind, should I give them snow or rain…we are now near the end of November and in Winterpeg our temps are sitting around 0 c
Dirt back roads that could possibly produce Snowy Owls are greasy and some impassable.
So I wait and reflect on last year around this date and shooting Short-eared Owls at Oak Hammock Marsh.
Back to the fall visit at St.Vital Park and playing with Wood Ducks…incoming male as he’s about to touch down.
This fall people voted on the bird that would best represent Canada as it’s official bird.
The 5 birds where…
-Snowy Owl
-Black-capped Chickadee
-Common Loon
-Grey Jay
-Canada Goose
The winner and now Canada’s Official Bird is the Grey Jay aka Whiskey Jack.
My vote was for the Common Loon, who came in second I believe.
Meet our official bird.
