A Snowy Owl bulletin

16 March 2014. This past winter may well become legendary as the Winter of the Snowy Owl.  It has been truly exceptional and as I write this the birding community has become almost dismissive of more Snowy Owl sightings.  This posting is really just to pass along a link to a couple of excellent websites.

NPR recently ran a five-minute feature on the Snowy Owl invasion.  Read more and listen to it by clicking on this link.  

And a newly cobbled together group of American ornithologists has started tracking Snowy Owls on their late winter/spring migration back to the Arctic.  Read more about Project Snowstorm by following this link

  1. Thanks for including the NPR link. It was one of the better overviews of the migration. Scott W. frequents this area as it is close to the Ned Smith Center here in PA.
