More brownish and smaller (30 cm ?) that what I usually see, I think. No sessions of woodpecking, but frequent short sessions of digging in holes.

Mix of bounding and tobogganing. Nice, uninterrupted view from the dam. Not sure about the intersecting track near & parallel to the ice edge - maybe Red Fox.

Provincial Road (PR) 520 south of PR 313. Undoubtedly Northern at this date and location. Typically wary and restless, it allowed only one distant photo.

Old Pointe Road just west of Lee River Road. Preparing to defecate in Photo 2 - often a prelude to takeoff, but it stayed put. First of the spring for me - about average arrival date.

Part of a small grove of bur oak.

A tight group of about six pines with an overall globular shape.

Newly returned to the nesting islands, which are still ice-locked.

Called spontaneously about 80 minutes before sunset, with response from a second owl. It then responded vigorously to my poor imitation. Focus issues because of twigs.

Feeding on weedy Alfalfa.

Just upstream from Powerview dam, Winnipeg River.

Across the river near St. Vital Park
