A Barred Owl, likely attracted by small mammals, in turn attracted to the bird feeders maintained by the Peterborough Field Naturalists, was seen at noon today, Christmas Eve, near the ‘Bird Feeder Trail’. Little Lake is still more open than ice-covered, but there are increasing numbers of larger gulls and winter ducks, including Commmon Merganser (11), Common Goldeneye (7), Ring-necked Duck 91) and Bufflehead (1). Happy Christmas!
