SNOWY OWL BONANZA

 Sunday afternoon, I searched the Chums Corner area for the Snowy Owl I’d seen on Christmas Day.  I quickly found her atop one of the ballpark buildings.  Her third eyelid was up to protect her eyes from the wind that ruffled her feathers.  I moved on to see if there might be another and quickly found a second female atop a new apartment building.  It was rare to see two owls in the same outing.  After getting my fill of picture-taking, I headed back home, but kept an eye on the rooftops as I drove.  I was almost out of the industrial park when I found a third snowy!  Wow!!  I’d never seen three in one day.  This snowy was either a juvenile or a male because its barring was very light.  The last two birds stared at me with their bright yellow eyes.  Such a thrill!!!
