[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl near Arthur, ON

[Edward Appleyard via ONTBIRDS]

About 2:30pm this afternoon there was an almost pure white Snowy Owl 
(presumably adult male) in the first ploughed field on the west side of Grey 
Road 14 north of Arthur.  When first seen it was on the shoulder of the road 
but then flew a short distance into the field and landed.  It was close enough 
that it could be seen very clearly without binoculars.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl Alma

[Bradley Bloemendal via ONTBIRDS]

This morning at 09:50 heading NW on Wellington road 8 towards Wellington
road 12 I saw a Snowy Owl on the east side of the road on a telephone pole.
It was about a kilometre SE of the roundabout on Wellington road 8.

Figured it's a pretty rare bird this time of year.

Hello all:


I just received an alert from my brother and his significant other that they 
spotted a Snowy Owl yesterday at 7:30 pm while travelling south of Whalen 
Corners on Whalen Line between Highway 23 and Granton Line (Road 59).  A great

Also of note today my wife and I spotted our first Great Blue Heron in a ditch 
while travelling southbound on Highway #73 just north of Lyons.


Happy Birding,

Hi All,

Checked the Holland Marsh area for Snowy Owls yesterday (March 20/18)late 
afternoon.
Found only one on Ravenshoe Rd. west of Leslie St. in Keswick. This one appears 
to be a migrant passing through. Haven't seen one  here for a couple weeks.
Also 2 Turkey Vultures circled over Leslie St. just north of Queensville at 
about 5:30pm 

Good birding,

Just saw one of the Milton resident Snowy Owls perched on a "Lease" sign 
fronting a new warehouse / distribution building on the northeast corner of

building. 

Driving on into downtown Milton I saw a Bald Eagle flying north along Highway 
25 / Martin Street, between Main Street and Steeles Avenue, over Rotary Park.

Hello

 

A dark juvenile Snowy Owl has been showing up at the marina at the south end
of Frenchman's Bay  in Pickering in the evenings this week - here on Friday
12th at dusk; on Tuesday she was feeding on a duck on a dock! This followed
a peregrine here earlier in the week also enjoying an avian meal. There is
has also been a  white-winged scoter in the Bay channel.

 

Frenchman's Bay marina is at the south end of Liverpool road in Pickering.

For High Park denizens: if you visit the new Liquor Store on Dundas West, look 
up to the south-west corner of that building's rooftop and you may catch a 
young snowy owl, occasionally launching itself towards the aerial buffet of 
pigeons at the corner of Keele and Dundas. It has been around the last couple 
of days. On the last pass, the owl disappeared and a red-tailed hawk came up 
from behind the pigeons... tis the season for quick change artists? The sight 
of this snow white bird wheeling past Victorian era buildings is really 
impressive.

Happy Break to all.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl - Mississauga

[Hartshorn, James via ONTBIRDS]

Ontbirders
Just observed (1:45 pm) a snowy owl flying along the north side of Hwy 401, 
westbound, between Winston Churchill Boulevard and Trafalgar Road. I've seen a 
snowy in this area on several occasions over the past few years but this was my 
first observation this winter. 
It's noteworthy that the bird was moving significantly faster than the other 
westbound commuters. 
Cheers
James

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl Yes Greater White-fronted Geese No Long Point/Hagersville

[Mark Cranford]

I lead a South Peel field to Long Point for Tundra Swans.  Day started 
slowly with cool temperature and poor visibility once fog had dissipated 
swans were widespread.  Other highlights  nesting Bald Eagles at Big 
Marsh, a Snowy Owl and 5 Sandhill Cranes in Big Marsh off the Long Point 
Causeway.  Not sure if a photo was taken but a green morph Pine Siskin 
was in with maybe fifty siskin at the feeders immediately north and past 
the first bridge on Conc. 6 west of Hwy 59 in north end of Walsingham.  
Lots of waterfowl at Townsend sewage lagoons.


We could not relocate  the Greater  White-fronted Geese I reported from 
Friday on Dry Lake Road between Cty 9 and Hwy 3 east of Hagersville.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl in Lindsay ON.

[Judy Kennedy]

Today, I spotted a Snowy Owl, perched in the top of a big old gnarly tree, 
situated in the back, south east corner of the property that the Colonial 
Concepts Log home Company sits on. 

There was a Snowy at the Lindsay Airport last year, and it was most often seen 
sitting on the top of a hydro pole, just past the airport hanger.  Sometimes it 
would also perch on the top of an elm tree in a field across from the airport, 
or on top of one of the light standards at the go kart track, south of the 
airport.  So, if you don’t see it where it was today, check these three other 
places.

I got a side view photo, and the bird is very white, so I’m assuming it’s a 
male.  

Location:  Highway 35, north of Highway 7 and Lindsay.  Colonial Concepts is on 
the east side of Hwy 35, north of the Lindsay Airport and just south of Thunder 
Bridge Road.

Happy Owling!
Cheers,
Judy Kennedy, Cameron, ON

I just saw a male snowy owl on the Woodville Road, just west of Farms Road
on the south side.  It was on the side of the road and then flew a bit
south and landed at the top of a tree, easily seen.  Only a couple of
sightings that I know of in this area this winter.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl and Property Problems.

[Norman Murr]

Note:-  I am posting the following with the permission of Mark Cranford the 
Ontbirds Coordinator.



On a visit to the Ravenshoe Rd / Yonge St. area north of Toronto recently  I 
encountered a ploughed up snow road block half way down Yonge St.

When talking to some gentlemen (Owl Banders) there I was informed that the road 
block was put up (legally or not) because of some people and some people in 
cars that were trespassing on the dikes looking for / getting closer to or 
chasing Snowy Owls.

(Driving around this block is having to trespass)

They also told me that local land owners said that they put up with the casual 
owl viewing but it seems to be getting out of hand with some cars blocking 
Ravenshoe Rd and Yonge St. making it harder for the trucks and farm vehicles 
that go to and from the produce warehouses as well as the local residents 
getting to and from their homes and because of the frequent trespassing of some 
people trying to get closer to the owls in order to get close photos.

I myself have seen several men and women walking far out on the dikes, even the 
ones with NO TRESPASSING signs very visible on and at the beginning of the 
dike, most, if not all with large lens cameras and I have also seen a car out 
on a dike with the driver and friends standing in front of it taking photos of 
a Snowy Owl that they also proceeded to flush.

The same gentlemen above (the banders) also informed me that one woman in her 
car got stuck on the dike at the end of Yonge St. and had to be rescued by a 
tow truck this season already.

None of this is acceptable behaviour by photographers or birders and it can 
only lead to problems from residents in the future and problems (already) for 
the owls and of course could and should lead to charges of trespassing and 
fines.

All of the land along both sides of Ravenshoe Rd and Yonge St. west of Leslie 
St. is PRIVATE PROPERTY and should be treated as such.

Don’t ruin it for others and possible have it lead to the farmers shooing the 
owls away from their fields which in many cases could lead to the death of some 
of these great birds. They are there because of the food and rest available, 
don’t take this from them

Norm Murr
Richmond Hill
Ontario, Canada

You can't see birds if you don't go out but sit and wait for others to find 
them.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl Dundas & 427 North

[Kyle Holloway]

Hello all!

For the past two nights, as I was on my way home from work at Wild Birds
Unlimited I saw a Snowy Owl on the Ramp from Dundas to the 427 North.  the
bird appears to be an adult male.  I contacted the store owners (Lynda &
Jim) who were able to see the bird well from the Metro Parking lot at
Cloverdale Mall.  The Owl was actively hunting Flying from light standards
to the nearby Highway signs too.  The Owl seemed oblivious to the shoppers
in the parking lot (all of whom were equally oblivious to the hunting owl!)

I debated posting the owls location, but due to its presence at a very
public space, and the easy of accessibility for those of you who are less
mobile (Jim just had his knee replaced and was able to get great looks at
it)

As a bonus last night I saw a second Snowy on the ramp from the 401 West to
the 410 North!

Feel free to drop by Wild Birds Unlimited if you have any questions about
the Owl, I'm here all week

Stay warm!

Kyle

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl at Bronte Harbour

[Gavin Edmondstone]

This may be of interest to people with Christmas visitors. I saw the now 
long-staying Snowy Owl at Bronte Harbour this morning and this afternoon. This 
morning the bird was on the west pier and I was able to get some decent photos 
before it flew onto the top of the condo at Bronte Road and Ontario Street. (11 
Bronte Road, Oakville) It was still there a few minutes ago. 

Directions: Exit the QEW at Bronte Road (Oakville) and go to the lake. The top 
of the condo can be viewed from south of Lakeshore Rd. Go out on the pier on 
the east side of Bronte creek. Check the west pier, the docks, the east (rocky) 
breakwater and the masts of sailboat in the boat storage yard. The Suncor pier 
west of here also can have an owl.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl at Whitby Harbor

[Jim Mountjoy]

Today my wife and I found a heavily marked (presumably a young female)
Snowy Owl on the breakwater at Whitby Harbor.  I have to admit that I was
more excited by the flock of Wild Turkeys seen earlier at Lakeridge Road in
Ajax, and they were not found locally back when I lived in the area, but
they wouldn't excite most locals now!


Directions:  Take Brock St. S south from the 401 at Whitby.  As it bends
left, look for Sunrise Park on the right.

I spotted a Snowy Owl perched on a jumble of broken ice piled up along the 
shore close to the mouth of Chippewa Creek in North Bay.  
I estimate it was about 20 metres from shore.  It was in sight of about 60 
Mallards that were on the creek.

Go up Highway 11 North, turn right onto Fisher, turn left on Main, go up 
overpass, at bottom of overpass turn right onto Judge.Turn right onto Memorial 
Drive, turn left onto Queen.  From there you can see the creek, and a couple of 
places to park.  TheSnowy Owl was also visible from Amelia Beach.

[Jon via ONTBIRDS]

Last night (May 24) at 9:15pm, my wife and I saw a Snowy Owl fly onto a hydro 
pole on Highway 7 just west of Highway 427. We watched it for a couple of 
minutes before if flew off to the west. We took a grainy photo.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl north of Erieau & Lapland Longspurs nr Blenheim

[Frank Pinilla via ONTBIRDS]

Hi again Ontbirders,

While at the Blenheim sewage lagoons my brother noticed a wet area in the field 
north of the lagoons so we headed up to Allison Line which runs across the 
north side of the lagoons.  Here we had 3 Ruddy turnstone, several Least 
Sandpiper and Dunlin as well as 2 Lapland Longspur ( one a stunning male bird), 
6 American Pipit and 3 Horned Lark.

On a tip we headed to Erieau Rd just north of McGeachy Pond in Erieau and found 
an adult male Snowy Owl on the east site of the road (easiest to stop on 
Internal Line where there's less traffic). 

Good birding,
Frank & Rob Pinilla

DIRECTIONS:

The sewage lagoons are on Lagoon Road just north of the Talbot Trail just west 
of the town of Blenheim.

Erieau Rd is the next concession west of Lagoon Rd, head south from Talbot 
trail towards the town of Erieau.

[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl Fort Erie

[Dustin D]

Observing the birds on the beach today on Stonemill Road in Ridgeway. At 8:00 
pm I noticed a large white bird flying over the lake. Once I had gotten a 
better look, I noticed it was a snowy owl sitting where it landed on the ice 
over the lake, just east of the parking area. 
Good birding,Dustin
