Title: Barrie/Orillia Area Owls
Post by: Tyler on January 03, 2009, 11:21:49 PM
We took the long way around lake Simcoe this afternoon looking for owls on our way to Barrie.
Saw the Orillia Monck rd and sideroad 20 Hawk Owl. I was well up and away from the road.

20 minutes NW of Barrie running south from Hwy 26 is Strongville Road.

Here we found 8 Snowy owls including the almost pure white male.

Eleanor Kee Wellman took its picture on dec 18. see link below
