West end of Ravenshoe Road
I took the above photo last Sunday morning, February 21st, at the west end of the Ravenshoe Sideroad, just south of Lake Simcoe's Cook's Bay, and just east of the Holland River. For many years, local birders have visited here, each winter, with reasonable expectations of seeing Snowy Owls wintering on this Holland River wetlands sideroad. The owls are generally quite approachable and patient with birders' binoculars and cameras. Being quiet and moving (and driving) slowly are the bywords here, in this part of York Region. The 'snowies' start arriving here in late november and stay for approximately 3 to 4 months. They should be around for approximately another month, especially in the two reliable spots in York Region: at the end of the Ravenshoe Road and in the Holland Marsh.
Please comment if you wish.
