On this day, I headed out to the Toronto park where one is most likely to find a Snowy Owl in winter: Col Sam Smith Park.
I was not disappointed though the owl was far away.


I also found a snowy here last winter:


For a closer look, last December I visited this owl at the Toronto Zoo:

The same variety of owl, or the exact same (individual) owl?
I thought you were taking a break, Miles! Wonderful way to wake up this morning, to a Snowy Owl!
Thanks, Miles!
A snowy owl sighting is such a nice Christmas gift. Spectacular! Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you good health and happiness.
