Hello Ontbirders, Today, while checking for Short-eared owls at Seed Rd. & Cuddy Drive, Ed, Kay and I spotted a Snowy Owl on top of a hydro pole about 150 yds. north of Egremont Dr. (Hwy. 22) on Seed Rd. Too dark to see it well. As we backed up to look at it better, it flew down and disappeared in the snow. No Short-eared were observed today. Many snowmobiles active in the fields where the Short-eared hunt.
Directions: from London drive west on Hwy. 22 (Fanshawe Park Rd. changes to Egremont Dr. at Denfield Rd.) to Seed Rd. (northwest of Strathroy). Turn right onto Seed Rd. Scan the open fields.
