Snowy Owls

Thank you again to Stephanie Rossi for sharing her pictures with us!

Here are some of the Snowy Owls that we made a special trip to go see. There were about 15-20 that we saw, but heard that were more in the area. These rare visitors were just amazing. They were all together very  near to the path when we got out of our car at Boundary Bay- so convenient!

They are large, fearless birds with stoic expressions. It's as though this group were on a meditation retreat.

Lots of people were there to see them.

The more white a Snowy is, the older it is. Most of the ones we saw were mottled like these- younger birds.
