Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I seem to have shot the Archduke Ferdinand.

As of about 11:30 a.m. the Snowy Owl was sitting on the sand next to a log on
the soutern side of Warner Island, the larger sandy island east of the
Ponquogue Bridge. The best vantage point is at the end of Road I which is
between the bridge and the inlet. Wonderful to run into Dianne Taggart
