Any freepers have seen Snowy Owls. They are so cute.

About 4 years ago I was walking the grounds of a rustic resort with my (at the time) girlfriend. A Snowy landed on a roof near us.

Damned thing was the largest bird I’d ever seen that close up.

I'm afraid you have owls...

I haven’t seen any snowy owls but the great horned own numbers sure seem to be on the rise.

My son got some good pics of a snowy owl in CO. a few months ago.
I’ll see if I can find them and post.

Must be too cold up north for these birds to handle. Must be a sign of another ice age approaching.

I believe that something that we don't immediately understand is happening here. I live in Mississippi and have noticed that more and more Canadian geese are migrating here and just never go home. Sometimes a whole "squadron" of the critters will fly past and often several times in a day. And this is not a wintertime event. It happens during summer as well.

There are lots of ponds in the area and they like hanging around those ponds. I suppose that the fishing is good there. I have already heard stories about people killing Canadian geese because they are depleting local fishing. I don't like hearing that, but I do understand the problem.

I was walking the dog last night and heard an owl hooting. I thought I was going nuts and hearing things. Maybe not.

"Any freepers have seen Snowy Owls."

Thank you for asking, I love telling this story.

My family's Kansas farm had two barns. One very large and one smaller "English Barn". In the smaller barn my uncle kept his Packards. One morning I went out to it to admire his cars like I often did. Then I noticed a large White Owl up on a rafter looking down at me. We sat there sizing each other up for several minutes before he got bored with me. He swooped down, flying right past and out the door behind me.

My one and only encounter with a wild one.

My son took this Christmas Eve in Eastern Co.

And they taste like chicken, or so they say...wink wink!
