dealings television camera are n’t really known for taking particularly interesting images of the local wildlife ( or anything interesting for that issue ) , but as this jaw - dropping photo attest , sometimes the nature come to you .
The range , one of three jaw - shed frames bewitch on January 3 , 2016 , shows the hooter in flight , spreading its blank and mordant - tell apart wing against a snowy backdrop . The photo was captured along main road 40 in westerly Montreal .
Barbara Frei , the managing director of the McGill Bird Observatory , told the CBCthat it ’s a untried female that was probably looking for a place to rest :
“ I think they are attracted specifically to the main road because it has subject , grassy fields nearby which is double-dyed for hunt their preferent prey , which is small rodents , ” she said . “ They like to get a salutary lay of the land and the gamey lamp posts or other place that they can rest on while hunting just become them perfectly . ”
Frei say snowy bird of night breed north of the Arctic Circle , where they hunt in the summer .
“ They ’ll migrate to their ‘ winter holiday , ’ which can be all the manner down to southern Canada , in the Montreal region or place in Ontario . ”
Quebec transport minister Robert Poëti posted this tweet before today .
