I had a quick trip to Regina this week, flew out on Tuesday morning on the first direct flight and back the next morning. Even though I was just there two weeks ago, I was sent back for a meeting at the site. There is a good chance I’ll be there again in the new year to do some training. The weather was good, at least for Regina in December. There was no snow and the roads were frozen and firm. My ride for the day, a Dodge Avenger.

Every time I drive by these trucks I take a picture, they haven’t changed and they haven’t moved in all the years I have been coming here.

On my way to the site I spotted a Snowy Owl (Nyctea scandiaca), knowing from past sitings that they don’t tend to move very much, there was a good chance it would be there when I left. Sure enough he was on the pole. As I slowed down he flew from one pole to the next pole.

Eventually he tired of me and took off for the original pole.
