Hi CoBirders,
Today we also saw the Beautiful Snowy Owl. What a treat !

Please, give the Owl room. If your optics are not good enough, borrow optics
from som
Our Short-eared Owl returned tonight-we were out back at dusk hoping
to "see" one hovering instead we got to hear one "barking" (http://
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Short-eared_Owl/sounds) probably less than

exactly what Tom Wilberding's email yesterday was addressing with regards to
all of us making respectful choices when visiting the owl. Essentially, I
had been there since early morning. Anyone that visited the bird while I

Now that the Snowy has been mentioned on the news, all kinds of nut jobs
will be out and about. I hope he (Snowy) comes back. This really is a quite
