Snowy Owl, Bubo scandiacus Frenchman's Bay is situated right off Lake Ontario in Pickering. The bay itself partially freezes over in the winter months. This year, a Snowy Owl took up residence in the area. Some days it can be seen right on the bay, blending in with the snow and ice. Luckily, I was able to catch a glimpse of it on a beautiful and clear sunny day. An American Crow tried to scare off the Snowy Owl from its high perch on the tree but, the owl was simply not budging.
