Thanks for your expertise, Fly.

That sounds like a lot more reliable identification than what I found on a questionable website, “a white crow.” :-)

Well I'm not 100% about my call either, Jaz, since it is a Eurasian species and I'm only a North American birder.

But, hey, the fun part is doing the sleuth work (which we both did) to make an educated guess. To me, that's one of the most enjoyable things about birding.

Let me know when you get that snowy owl! And keep a look out for gyrfalcons. One was just photographed at Stillwater NWR a day or two ago (northcentral Nevada).
