The previously reported Snowy Owl from Hicks Island, Napeague was 'joined' by two others. Late this afternoon I observed a second Snowy perched well out in the saltmarsh south of Napeague Harbor. Not quite believing I was seeing a second, I rushed back to the Lazy Point boat landing to see if the original bird remained on Hicks Island, it did. While scanning I noticed a white object on a float in the harbor, a third Snowy. It does suggest a regional incursion following the strong front that passed through. Also, a Short-eared Owl was harassing the marsh Snowy at dusk. --
