An Early Arctic Visitor

Last week a friend contacted me to let me know that a Snowy Owl had shown up on his patch. I was out birding with my gear and within a half-hour, was looking at the wayward bird from up north. I grabbed a few photos at range and left it undisturbed. I held off reporting it due to the sensitive area it was in and by request of my friend. It was not seen again – probably departing that night.

OK, get your picture and scram.

I saw a Snowy in March — this one is early. Always a treat.

  1. Nice! Might be worth logging it now to eBird – good to see that this has come by. Always a pleasure to see these migrate.
