I Tawt I Taw a Snowy Owl

We did see this one......in March of 2018!

We were returning from a little birding excursion yesterday, having successfully found and photographed Glaucous and Iceland Gulls, which made me pretty happy.

Cute little Iceland Gull

We had also seen a number of Rough-legged Hawks, which are wintering in the area. We are literally seeing more of them than of Red-tailed Hawks, which is pretty surprising.

Anyhow, we were tooling along Logtown Road, hurrying home for brekkus, when I spotted a white shape in a distant tree.

"I think I saw a Snowy Owl, back there on that Amish farm!"

And so the boss, good guy that he is, turned around and we went back.

Alas and unfortunately........

Something Fishy Going On

While indulging in the Christmas bird count last Friday, we stopped by the Hale Creek Field Station, where there are often small birds, ducks and maybe an occasional heron to be counted. Nothing but a few chickadees this year, but there sure were trout!
