I was also wondering what locations had enough snow cover to interfere =
with
the owls' ability to find food.  Parrsboro and that area have had almost =
no
snow so far this winter and most of the province had no snow until
mid-December.   I wonder just how many owls he was talking about.

Interesting comment - conditions around Parrsboro maybe different from =
here.
I'm seeing lots of mice tracks on my almost-daily walks through the =
woods.
"My" Barred Owl hasn't shown up at my feeders yet this year (that I've
seen), so I'm assuming that food is readily available elsewhere. Last =
year,
the owl(s) was present a few times a week.
