The owl was found today sitting on a Toyota Dealership, in a very busy and crowded area full of businesses,homes, etc. not where a bird of open tundra would expect to be found, go figure. Glad I made the trip, it may be awhile before I get another chance this close at one. I was actually leaving after searching for about 1 1/2 hours without luck when I decided to check Facebook for updates and found where it was roosting today. I did meet a member of the Bibbee Nature Club but I cannot remember her name, and I met Cecilia Matthews who post to the list, good to put a face with a name. Attached are a couple of digi-scoped pics.. Mike Sanders Bristol, VA
