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!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see one! Is it still there?
ReplyDeleteTHe Snowy Owl left at the first of January. Are you headed to Space Coast Festival?
