Around 1:00 yesterday, several observers watched a Snowy Owl perched on a post
at the "West 90" bend (West of Edison). It did not appear to have any green
markings of the bird released by the zoo. However, it was quite foggy, so
colors were hard to perceive. It was not far from the road, so it was easy
to see with binoculars and quite a sight with a scope.

About 30 minutes later, we watched a perched, adult Peregrine on a power pole
on Bayview-Edison Road. Based on the size, I would guess it was a female.
She was a very cooperative bird; she let us watch her with the scope for a
while, and then she turned around so that we could get a good look at the other
side! She had a little brown in her back which suggested that she might be
a second year bird.
