Eagle(s) and Great Horned Owl among other stuff

Mr. & Mrs B. Eagle.

and Junior:

This Great Horned Owl was injured (eye, in collision with P/U truck ) on Highway 17 at Terrace Bay. Here he is making  a stopover and transfer in Elliot Lake on the way to Wild At Heart Sanctuary in Lively (Sudbury). Expected it will make a full recovery.

The following day finds the carcass has been moved a hundred meters or so during the night. Presumably by same wolves.

Crossbills. I am told they are not a very common site in these here parts. First ones I have ever seen.
