All four snowies were still at the breakwall in Oconto today, hanging tight in the rain. (10:30 a.m. - ) Have photos but not the best due weather conditions.

As far as the other two, one was on the northern breakwall (near the middle) that separates the Bay from the boat slips that are on the north side of Bay Beach Rd. The other was on the NW corner of Renard Island. It was visible (with a scope), from the parking area near the boat slips. At the harbor in Oconto, there were four SNOWY OWLS on the breakwall at 9:30a this morning. Also, two SNOW BUNTINGS were seen on the breakwall. In the harbor were 15+ HORNED GREBE, three HOODED MERGANSERS, and one CANVASBACK. From the causeway, looking north, there were 30+ SWANS and large rafts containing hundreds of RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS, a few COMMON MERGANSERS, GOLDENEYE, SCAUP, and BUFFLEHEAD. Lastly, four ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS and one NORTHERN SHRIKE were seen in the Oconto Marsh, just north of the harbor on County Y.
