Jim and I were at the Dulles parking structure from 7 to 7:30am this morning,
and there was no sign of the Snowy Owl. Instead, sitting on the lamp post
where we had first seen the owl was an American Kestrel. Remembering the sight
and size of the Snowy Owl made us appreciate all the more just how BIG it it.
The American Kestrel weighs 4.1 ounces, the Snowy Owl is 4 pounds.
