Title: Snowy Owl(s) Milton
Post by: Napper on February 07, 2018, 05:10:09 PM

Hey
Spotted a Snowy Owl today around 3:50 pm, 50 yards North Derry rd  Just before Jame Snow Parkway Heading West into Milton. It was siting atop a tree along a dividing fence between farm fields.

Tuesday Morning a t 5:35 am I spotted a Snowy at 407 Eastbound on-ramp to 401.  

Last Thursday around 8:00 am My Carpool dude and his  Son spotted one in the same area but on a fence. This area of map https://goo.gl/maps/ZpnqBrH3BoD2 (https://goo.gl/maps/ZpnqBrH3BoD2).

Spotted snowy again this morning at 5:35 am while  merging onto 401 and passing under 401 East to 407 ramp, same area as earlier in the week almost at Winston Churchill.

Anyone using the 401 East Ramp to 407 this morning would have a surprise as it was sitting atop a road sign just a above eye level.

ps. this was the location From Tuesday atop the camera pole

Spotted Snowy on Eastbound 407 ramp to Eastbound 401
yesterday on the Camera pole,
today on a yellow caution sign drivers side at eye level.
similar time 5:35 am..


Walking along Wilson ave East of Keele street this afternoon Spotted a Turkey Vulture.

Thought I heard a really strong sounding  Killdeer call at lunchtime today at work, didn't see
a Killdeer.

Could have been a Starling doing the mimic thing.
There is one starling at work that can mimic many birds including Killdeer, usually it is not this loud.

Still a Snowy at Pearson Airport. Yesterday it was on the landing lights close to 427/Dixon exit. I have seen it there on more than one occasion. They seem to know winter is hanging on.
