Short-eared Owl on a large snowy branch |
There were five; got excellent in-flight and perched views, from a variety of angles.
So yay!, lifer, and yay! OFO walk.
(Snow buntings. Diverse colour morphs of Rough-legged Hawk. Mergansers. (Mergansers?) Mockingbirds. Goldfinches, tree sparrows, kestrels, downy woodpecker, nuthatches, bluejay, crows, rusty blackbirds, red-winged blackbirds, red-tailed hawk, cowbirds, and one cold-looking starling. Cardinals. Other people saw tufted titmice. One red-bellied woodpecker with a crest made out of lambent fire.)

A just reward for the virtuous. The weather has not been particularly encouraging for going outside lately.
While I certainly agree in the general case, that particular day wasn't too bad.
This coming Sunday (TOC "walk" from West Toronto to Burlington) may be different; the forecast hasn't stabilized yet. :)
