Traffic cameras are usually a pretty boring event, monitoring traffic, checking for accidents and hazards, sometimes used for issues fines to people breaking the law.
It is pretty unlikely for them to capture anything quite like this.

His tweet roughly translates to “Beautiful snowy owl taken up by the road network surveillance cameras on the A-40 in western MTL.”
It is suspected that it is a female snowy owl, attracted to the area by the gorgeous meadows just next to the highway.
