SNOWY OWL (Nyctea scandiaca)
The wide-winged Snowy Owl, seen above, was recently spotted in a rural area of Canada's national capital, Ottawa.   Snowy Owls have cyclic winter irruptions into southern Ontario. but I have not seen any this winter, especially in the nearby frozen, broad and flat, Holland Marsh, which is a favourite destination for this occasionally irruptive species from northern Canada.
