edge of a grassy area that you can see from the viewing area. I was able to see
it with my naked eye but you need binoculars or a scope to real

be far from the road, but best chance at a sighting is from the new aircraft

This morning I took my 3 oldest children (6, 5, 2 years old) to hunt for snowy
owls. We found 2! The first was on Becker Co 13, 1/4 mile south of Becker Co
14. It was perched on a power pole. All three kids saw it through the window
mounted spotting scope. It only took 25 minutes to find.
It's been interesting to read all the "local" sightings of snowy owls these
last weeks. Apparently this winter's influx of the visitors is not a regional
phenomenon; this story aired on tonight's CBS news - lots of snowies visiting
the east coast too. Enjoy:

hours. This included one that landed on the ground pretty close to Hogan and

My son and I found 2 snowy's between 8:30 and 9 this morning. One was on an
irrigation device west of Goodwill Av between 170th and 180th street. The
other was in a field east of St Augustine cemetery on 170th just west of
the intersection with Emery Av. Thanks all for your posts.
