Do I come in the summer and enjoy beautiful weather and the summer birds, or do I come in the winter and endure the cold (which I'm not used to!) but see iconic owls?!?!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-25887911003386046242013-12-06T00:13:26.545+00:002013-12-06T00:13:26.545+00:00Snowy Owl is present in southern Ontario almost ev...Snowy Owl is present in southern Ontario almost every winter.

I'm quite pleased with some of the photos, but the only bird of note was the Brambling.<br /><br />Not got any more owl images up my sleeve at the moment.

There are no Little Owls here, of course, but on Saturday I did see a female/juvenile Snowy Owl.
