Snowy Owl!

The day before Thanksgiving, an incredible county report of 2 Snowy Owls came in on Ebird! I wasn't able to chase them until the day after Thanksgiving, but I was successful! One searcher was already there, and he was able to point them out to my Dad and I in his scope. From there, I was able to get some incredibly blurry, far-away shots:


They didn't seem to be bothered by the airplanes taxiing nearby (Owl on the 2 sign)


Woohoo! A yearbird and a great county bird!

Next, we went looking for some recently reported Horned Larks, and were successful, also finding Snow Buntings and American Pipits.


Horned Larks were a lifer! My year list is now 229, and my life list 242!
