Let's hope so, but a yard is an odd place for a Snowy Owl. Could it have been
a Barn Owl, which is very light colored? A coworker once told me he had seen a
Snowy Owl on Vanderbilt's campus in Nashville, but it was more likely a Barn
Owl in such a setting with all the trees. Hopefully your friend will see the
owl again and get a photo or more looks to confirm.

A friend just posted on Facebook that he had a Snowy owl in his yard this
morning and that just as he ID'ed it, it flew away. He lives 1.5 to 2 miles NE
of I-40 exit 355 (Lawnville Rd).
