Comments on: Can you say Snowy Owls? :) http://birdsbykim.com/blog/?p=210 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:51:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: Elizabeth Barr http://birdsbykim.com/blog/?p=210&cpage=1#comment-546 Elizabeth Barr Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:06:09 +0000 http://birdsbykim.com/blog/?p=210#comment-546 Kim, I'm thrilled to see your lovely photos. My mom's family were the Marshalls of the Marshall Forty Foot Rd. on Amherst Island and my family still owns the old farm just south of the Owl Woods. My father planted the pines where owls are found today. Your photographs give me an even deeper appreciation of a place that I have always loved. On a serious note, I would like to inform you that Amherst Island is being targeted for an industrial scaled wind turbine development--over 86 at least on our small island. Existing roads would have to be levelled and widened and access roads built to the massive turbines. You can guess what that would do to the habitat that supports our birds. I'm just trying to let the birding community know of this. Again, thank you so much for your beautiful photographs. Elizabeth Barr Stella, Amherst Island Ontario Kim,

Your assumptions are correct about tagging them. In fact, once these male juveniles mature they will almost be totally white. You did a great job capturing the essence of these wonderful owls.
