No it's not irruption year; yes I still get lots of snowies-- lucky & grateful to live in an area that gets them each winter; they've taught me to love winter again; each has a different look & personality; hope you enjoy the clips! <3 #birding #snowyowl #sparkbird #birdwatching

When you're at red light, notice a new snowy owl on pole , pull over safely & it lands on a fence post beside your car hunting!! this happened..so quickly at sunset (but was cloudy).. amazing moments this winter so far; so glad I had camera w/ me #snowyowl #birding #birdwatching

The bird that most often nearly gives me a heart attack while out walking trails, or while driving has got to be the the Ruffed grouse, but on this day, I had a calm one that cooperated for video & photos as it went from tree to tree eating #birding #ruffedgrouse #5MRbirding

Eastern screech owls camouflage so well in the trees that they roost in, I always wonder how many I've walked right by during my hikes; this is a popular snag tree in a park that has hosted owls for many years #birding #easternscreechowl #owls #ethicalowlphotography #ontarioowls

Mobbing behaviour demonstrated by Black Capped Chickadees & White Breasted Nuthatches; you can hear their alarm calls as the owl sits still to "blend in" -It'll start with a few birds alerting the environment to a predator, then more come- a great way to find owls! #birding
