Saturday March 11th 2:45 pm.our first bird returned to Winnipeg. Now confirmed that the first bird back was Hart. He’s the resident male from the Logan territory and not where he should be by hanging out at the Radisson.

Sunday, March 19th a second bird (female) think we know who she is but still need to confirm. She is also out of her territory.

Late afternoon another female shows up and it may very well be Joli, ( out of territory ) Hart’s mate from Logan.

It’s not Joli’s first time to visit the Radisson over the years.

Appears it could be an interesting year.

Cheers !

My ” 1 Day Wonder ” an Eastern Screech Owl from last year in the neighbourhood…after being harassed by a nuthatch he continued to have his eyes wide open for a short period of time
Something you wouldn’t normally see since they are nocturnal

Middle of February and I spent some time with an active Northern Hawk Owl…this one returns from a missed attempt for a meal.

Winter Owling is pretty much over for another year with no plans to be out-n-about to specifically search for them.
As the seasons change so do the subjects.
