I had 3 Snowy Owls in the Strongville Road area this afternoon, 1 sitting on top of a silo on the southern end of Strongville Rd, another on a hydro
 
pole on Concession Rd 9 Sunnidale between Centre Line Rd & Sideroad 3 & 4 Sunnidale, and the last on a house tv aerial near the
 
Sunnidale Corners intersection @ Highway 26 & Sunnidale Rd. I also had 2 flocks of Snow Buntings in my travels, the first a flock of 200 near the
 
southern end of Strongville Rd & the other a flock of 50 on Conceesion 9 Sunnidale in the vicinity of the Snowy Owl. Also had good views of 28
 
Wild Turkeys feeding on the gravel road in the Strongville area.
 
 
Strongville is located in the NW section of the Minesing Wetland area, it can be accessed from Hwy 26 west of Edenvale, or from Sunnidale Rd north of Brentwood
