Great Horned Owl, Shrike and very very cold Nov 26


Check out those talons


Today Janice and I decided to go and find some birds. lol during the first 5 hours all we saw was a northern shrike at Long Sault Conservation Area, peacocks and pretty hens at the Oshawa Zoo. Thinking that was going to be it for the day we went down to Oshawa and Whitby area. Nothing. Finally decided to see if the Great Horned Owl was around and that my friends was the bird of the day. By the way it was sooooooooooo cold outside today that the hikes were short and fast. Nice hat Janice. I will post a shot of it someday Elmer Fudd.


Northern Shrike and yes that is snow falling
