Title: 2 Snowy Owls on a cold afternoon
Post by: MAK on 12-Dec-13, 09:47:21 PM
I have to ration my gas consumption so when I have to go to Greece to run an errand I make the best out of it while I'm there- like visiting friends and relatives. Today I chose to drive along the Lake Ontario shore to look for Snowy Owls and a juvie Falcon named Billy. No Billy sighting but I found 2 Snowy Owls. One was way out on Cranberry Pond and the other on the beach in Charlotte. I watched a wild turkey jumping up to snatch berries from a tree on Ling Road near Lakeshore Fire Department. In addition to pics I have also included links to watch 2 videos of the owls. Enjoy!
