In Search of Snowy Owls

Yesterday, I drove out to Saquish in search of the snowy owls. On the road out to the Gurnet I didn’t notice any owls. Then I went up to the lighthouse to just look around and I ran into one of the patrol officers. He mentioned that he saw a snowy owl on the back road out to Saquish. So, I headed out on the back road and didn’t see anything at first but then saw a white spot in the grass. Sure enough it was a snowy owl. The bottom two photos are of this owl. Then when I was leaving I saw a couple more white dots and saw the top two owls. I just stayed in the car to take the two top photos. I saw a fourth owl fly over me as I was almost to the Powder Point Bridge. I’m sure there were even more owl as I saw a few other white dots. At first they look like they just might be a white bottle or trash but once you get a little closer you can then see that they are actually snowy owls.
