Howdy Texbirders (especially those in east Texas) The following was posted on eBird: Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) (1) - Reported Feb 11, 2014 18:40 by Pamela Reece - camp joy rd, Upshur, Texas - Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=32.8356785,-94.7013974&ll=32.8356785,-94.7013974 - Checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S16923203 - Comments: "i was driving down camp joy road, this beautiful white owl flew in front of me landed on a branch. I stop the car and a few seconds later the owl flew across the road into the woods. i had no idea what type of owl it was until i shared this with my husband and he showed me some pictures trying to figure out what type of owl it was" I hope that our friends up that way will check this report. Great potential since the Snowy Owl influx this year has been a more easterly occurrence. Ciao. Dennis Harris County -- W.
