Janice and all, The Snowy Owl sightings in the Willamette Valley have not been circulated on this list that I recall. There have been about 4 different birds during December and January. One can search the archives of Oregon Birders On Line (OBOL), at //www.freelists.org/archive/obol/ for more information (easiest to click on a month, then CTRL-F and type in snowy to search). I wish one would fly down here! Matt On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 7:35 PM, <jeoreid@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Super.
