Snowy Owl Hunt

On Friday, Leo and I ventured across the border in search of Snowy Owls. It's a rare treat around here to see them – the last time we heard of Snowy Owls migrating our way was about 12 years ago, before Leo was born. That time I went with my husband Leo Sr., and the rest of my kids. Friday, Leo Jr. and I hiked along the same dike along Boundary Bay and were rewarded. We counted at least 23 Snowy Owls, plus a dozen Bald Eagles, several Northern Harriers (hawks), a Great Blue Heron, and a wonderful bonus, a Golden Eagle. It was a feast for a couple of bird lovers.
