622 (5) (WS) Snowy Owl - a photo on Flickriver

A Snowy Owl has graced Sidney with her presence over the past few weeks. Although not a rare bird, it is rare to have them winter on the island.

It tends to happen during years when their population explodes due to abundant prey during the breeding season. Over the winter months, the population spreads out more to find sustenance over the leaner months.

Here she is sitting on a house roof in a residential neighbourhood, and yes, this rarity coincided with another rarity for Sidney...a white Christmas! What a great combo! The best Christmas gift ever!! :))
