Went out today to see if there were any new Owls around, did a tour through my northern route to search for Great Grays and Hawkowls, I couldn't find any Great Grays, they seem to be extremely scarce this winter. I did find this juvy Northern Shrike.
Found a Northern Hawk Owl close to Peace River, turned out to be a SY bird with an unusual old wing injury.
Close up
Most of the Snowy Owls have moved out of Peace Region, my guess is maybe to Grande Prairie area or even further south, totals now are 36 SNOW's banded and 4 retraps of my own birds. Here's a couple of new ones.
An ASY Male SNOW
An SY female
This has been an incredible winter, lets hope it continues!
