[Ontbirds] Snowy Owl - Whitby harbour
Dec 24 0800hrs: A small crowd of persistent observers had a chance to watch the resident SNOWY OWL breakfast on an already-captured duck on the south breakwall that juts into Lake Ontario. The wind was calm but the temp was -9C and the patchy cloud cover made getting good light for photos a little more challenging. That owl ate like a pig! Big chunks, feathers and all! :) It was interesting to note how the owl was extremely aware of what was going on around her, swivelling her head around quite quickly, but often only looking through half-open eye slits. Only sudden activity made her snap her eyes open attentively. The harbour is abuzz with other activity. Trumpeter and Mute adults and juveniles abound, as well as the cohort of mergansers, geese and gulls, plus the Long-tailed ducks and Goldeneyes mentioned yesterday. From the 401 at Whitby, take Brock St. south 2km to the parking lot at the harbour. Cheers!

Hi All Yesterday we saw the Snowy Owl sitting on the breakwater by the boats in Whitby Harbour at the Sunrise Park. At one point the RB gulls were dive bombing it. We used the directions below Just before the harbour there was an open pond on the west side of the road. Sitting on the docks were 4 adult Great Blacked Backed Gulls.
