Snowy Owl


(Port of Newcastle)

Beautiful Snowy Owl

Beautiful Snowy Owl

My daughter took this picture of the beautiful bird.


She was out walking the dog along by the lake at Port of Newcastle, and there it was, perched on a large rock just off shore, in the lake.

This was December 27, 2014.

She came home to get me and we went back, and it was still sitting there.

Thank you for writing to tell us about your Snowy Owl encounter!

Thanks too for your great picture - its a beautiful bird and I believe it is a male as they are more often fully white, whereas the females tend to be mottled with many darker feathers.

I will also be posting this on our Facebook page Discover Southern Ontario on Facebook!
