Look on both sides of the railroad tracks and check the top of wooden poles both along the road and by the tracks. According to a report on Larry Neily's rare bird website, the owl has been at that same location since January 4th, 2010. From my observation of this species here in eastern Ontario, they usually are gone by early to mid-March.

We also spotted a female Snowy Owl in Holland Marsh on top of the last hydro/telephone pole in the first row of poles running north off Ravenshoe Road when you reach the flats west of Leslie. Eleanor Beagan Toronto etbeagan@sympatico.ca Eleanor Beagan etbeagan@sympatico.ca

From the parking lot at Cameron Ranch on Kirkfield Road 6, it was directly north about 150 metres, perching on the top of hawthorn bushes and dropping down to the ground seeking prey. This is the same spot we saw one last year. A Wilson's Snipe was winnowing overhead. Ron drove up Wylie Road as far as the Sedge Wren Marsh.

The bird, when I saw it, was perched on a dead branch near to the top of a tree. The area, a section of the Cedar Trail, contains a dense stand of diverse conifers. The observation happened around 7-7:30 pm and I got a good view of the bird. After a minute of observation, it went down quietly between the branches.

Rosborough's RF-246, and the Nimble Nomad have been at the top of my list. There's a 26' Clipper Craft (manufactured up in Portland, OR) for sale nearby that's right in my meager price range and that has most of the features I'm looking for.
