After missing one ferry, one dead car battery and a hitch to the ferry dock, we eventually made it to Amherst Island to check out the owls. We saw a quite a few long eared and only one or two short eared owls. It was amazing! They would just stare at you with their big yellow eyes. We also trained a few chickadees to eat seeds out of our hands, it was great. We even fooled a few into thinking that wood was edible! After a few hours of owl watching, we booked it home on our cross coutnry skis across a wind and snow blown trail to the warmth of our fossil fuel burning, 4 wheeled heaters and made it just in
time for the ferry. So long owls, it was a hooot!

YES!! First comment.
Those owls are fucking crazy. They have the nuttiest look in their eye - so critical. As if they're judging your every move, and judging correctly.
