On a hot tip, went in search of a Barred Owl in Whitemud Ravine (north) this afternoon, but only spotted Barred Horses. Also, a lot of Waxwings and Chickadees, none of whom would give up the exact location of the owl.

It seemed quite cold today, even though it was about 5C. The bazillion stairs helped to warm my body, if not downright torture it. Not too icy down there either, which was a surprise. Further south, the bank continues to erode. I expect the area will be permanently fenced off at some point, until a new barrier can be erected. The path, at one point, is very narrow. That’s where we stopped, seeing as we were gypped out of the owl.
