I spotted a Snowy Owl perched on a jumble of broken ice piled up along the shore close to the mouth of Chippewa Creek in North Bay. 
I estimate it was about 20 metres from shore.  It was in sight of about 60 Mallards that were on the creek.

Go up Highway 11 North, turn right onto Fisher, turn left on Main, go up overpass, at bottom of overpass turn right onto Judge.Turn right onto Memorial Drive, turn left onto Queen.  From there you can see the creek, and a couple of places to park.  TheSnowy Owl was also visible from Amelia Beach.
Cheers, Brent
