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.

Sea trials, still underway, indicate very little vibration, actually none, at cruise 15-16knts and top speed 23knts. Sole, engine room bulkheads and hull interior over prop are insulated with Soundown products, resulting in surprisingly quiet ride.
