Grand Pre farmlands are always worth a visit in early winter especially on the lookout for Snowy Owls. Short-eared Owls hunker in the drainage ditches to stay out of view of marauding harriers.

I found Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Northern Harriers, Northern Cardinals, American Pipits and Horned Larks but no owls.
