Peekaboo Owl

ebird rarity, SF

 

I found this Snowy Owl sitting at the end of Britannia Pier on the Ottawa River this morning. Based on the intermediate degree of barring of the front, five black bars on the tail and the rather large size, I conclude this is an adult female. Snowy Owls often use the river banks and ice to rest or hunt during migratory movements.
