Hey!
Twas a night similar to this evening a few years back (2006) when I was able to spot an owl flying about the neighbourhood.
The lighting during a snow event is just right to catch a glimpse and then follow an Owl flying about. Otherwise they are pretty much invisible at
night. That night @ 11:00 pm it was a Long Eared Owl. The next day I posted my first thread here!
I am pretty sure my neighbours spotted a Northern Saw Whet Owl in my tree about two weeks ago. Their description is a match.
They were in their yard waiting for the Molson/Coors transports.. Unfortunately I was sleeping.
I spotted/surprised a Saw Whet in the fall a couple of years back as I exited my back door with the lights on. It took one look at me
and took flight. I am sure it was thinking "Sc-aaa-ry man" said like "Count Floyd"
Napper :D
Good Owling, Stay safe on the roads. Should be a fun commute
