Fellow teacher Mike McNab reported seeing a Snowy Owl just north of his place on the Tri- County Road yesterday at 9:30 AM. The exact location would be 100 yards north of 360th St.
There is no doubt about the reliability of this report. Here's Mike's account: Mike nearly severed his finger cutting a squash and was driving himself to the doctor when he spotted the owl a mere 10 feet from the ditch on the Meeker side. He slowed way down and the owl turned its head and followed him the whole way. When asked about the coloring of the owl, Mike said it was "as white as it could get." Mike has a lot of experience with Snowy Owls as he found me my lifer last year as well as a a couple others. Unfortunately I cannot explore the area until next week, but it may be worth checking out if you happen to be going through the area. Good luck and please let me know if you find anything.
