[TN-Bird] Re: FW: Snowy Owl being seen

While observing the Snowy Owl yesterday, we noticed a photographer that was 
just visible to the west of the Owl. Not sure where he came from, and may have 
been a GM employee, as there weren't any extra cars around. But, at least this 
guy was keeping a respectable distance, and not pushing the Owl at all (while 
we were there anyway).

I took a quick run down there Saturday (a 3.5 hour drive), arriving perhaps an 
hour before sunset, and of course just 15 minutes before I arrived, some 
<blankety blank> person hopped the fence to get a closer photograph and scared 
the owl (who had obliged viewers for 3 full hours) over the back of the hill. 
GRRRRRRR! SNARL!! BAD PERSON!!!
Still, the back roads of Spring Hill are gorgeous, full of big old houses on 
lovely grounds, so it was worth the drive anyway. And I was able to satisfy the 
curiosity of passersby who wondered why a quarter-mile of cars were pulled off 
the side of the road, their occupants hanging over the Saturn fence with binox 
and spotting scopes in the cold wind.

Now if s/he'll just hold still till the weekend after next, I might have 
another chance...

After no sightings all morning, the Spring Hill Snowy Owl showed up at the 
crest of the rise to the west. A group of us were at the big parking area 
across from Rippavilla Plantation.
Pretty distant, but great looks.
