Snowy Owl continues at Frenchman's Bay

With ample food supply, the Snowy Owl continues at Frenchman's Bay in Pickering. At a safe distance, Ron Pittaway and I watched it feeding on a duck. Then it flew to the top of a pole where it wiped its bill and looked around to check nearby ducks. Canada Geese flew over it from the bay to Lake Ontario. The bay was frozen over except around the channel and a few open leads on the east side. 17 January 2020.

Snowy was eating a duck, pulling off chunks, feathers were flying. We couldn't see what species it was. Frenchman's Bay on 17 January 2020.

Then it flew from one pole to another, looking around at the ducks and not paying attention to the Canada Geese flying over. Frenchman's Bay on 17 January 2020.
