Another day another Snowy…location and appearance told me I had seen this owl before and had missed an opportunity.
Every owl acts differently…if this was the owl I had seen before it wasn’t going to fool me this time.
If correct the actions of this male was to take off out into the field then shortly after takeoff will bank back around and fly back towards the pole line.
This time I simply waited and by his reactions my thoughts proved to be correct.
Thinking ahead to thoughts of spring…we could be seeing Peregrines in Winnipeg air space as soon as 24+ days ?
Last year our first bird showed up March 11th which isn’t that far away…so my count down timer has begun.
The question always remains, will Princess return again this year ? She’s now 16 and has been the resident female at the Radisson Hotel since 2004…time will tell.
There will soon be much to do in prepping for their return…then the excitement begins to see who’s back and who is with who.
Hopefully soon…so far the Great Gray has eluded me after a few trips.
When you spend 4 hrs. on a round trip driving and put in a 11-12 hr day you would think one would receive some sort of reward ?
Just goes to show you that Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate.
Well the search for the Ghost of the Forest continues…with high hopes for the next trip
