Subject: [nnasnet] snowy owl near Warsaw
While taking part in the Washington's Birthplace CBC this morning Frank
Schaff and I were surprised to flush a snowy owl from its perch near the
entrance to the Wilna tract of the Rappahannock River Valley NWR near
Warsaw, Richmond County. The bird flew ahead of my pickup for a few seconds,
then turned a corner out of sight. When we rounded the corner it flushed in
front of us again, flew about 50 yards and perched in a large oak in plain
view. I got out of the truck and took a few photos with my cell phone. We
then watched it for a couple of minutes until it flew deeper into the woods.
The bird appeared to be in good shape. When we revisited the area later in
the day we were not able to relocate it.
