In the winter of 2004/2005 we had an influx of Great Grey Owls. Due to a food shortage up north, they migrated south looking for food. (Although, calling Thunder Bay 'south' is a bit of a stretch.) They were here for most of the winter and could be seen quite regularly perched on fenceposts along the side of the highway and back roads. Unfortunately, because they fly quite low, (below 20') some were hit and killed by vehicles.
