Waiting for Winter

Waiting for winter and the return of the Winter Owls…this Northern Hawk Owl perched low for a short time after an attempt for a meal on # 15 Hwy East of Winterpeg.
Hopefully the temps will drop and the back roads will freeze…plus a little sun would be appreciated Mother Nature.

What’s with the Weather ?

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.
