Finally, I got a day off from working at the Jekyll Island Guest Information Center. Guess what was the first thing I did? If you guessed go out and see a Snowy Owl, you would be correct. I have made several attempts to see this very lost bird but my timing was off. But not today, December 19, 2012...
At first he was out on a condo where we could only see his head. But he then he flew. He flew right toward us and he landed on the condo. I never get tired of looking at this species. I have seen it in the several places. I just never thought I would see one a couple miles from my house. What a treat! Keep on birding, you never know when a bird will surprise you!

Wait, a Snowy Owl in the Jekyll area?????? That's amazing!
What a great experience! I recently visited Jekyll Island and spoke to a man running a charter boat business who spoke of the Snowy Owl. Making a second trip to the island is on the top of my birding site list. Thank you for posting the picture.
I would love to see one! Is it still there?
THe Snowy Owl left at the first of January. Are you headed to Space Coast Festival?
