After work I went out just as it was getting dark, I had the massive female snowy owl in mind at the Lindsay airport. I setup my pigeon and pole net and she came in hard and fast and went completely through my net. No luck!
I took everything down and headed for home when I noticed this Great Horned owl hunting from the same spot the snowy used to hunt. This bird must have pushed her out of her hunting area. I tossed down my balchatri and before i could get back into the truck this owl was caught! This owl was an SY (second year) bird and it weighed in at 1520 grms and it's wing chord was 400mm. These horned owls are almost black compared to the ones back in Saskatchewan. My total now for snowy owls observed in the Lindsay area is 10, they seem to be on the move now.
