Index of Subjects Jamie, I have been videoing two snowys for over a month at Lawrencetown beach. They seem to have moved away in the past 2 weeks. I thought they might have begun their migration back to the tundra? Have any of you seen any lately? Paul.

Will they become residents like our other Owl species, perhaps establishing territory and reproducing? Will they return from whence they came even if they are not possessed of migratory instinct? Or are they doomed to wander in exile alone forever? > > Regards > > -- > Jamie Simpson > Hantsport, NS
