Re: Snowy Owl



Dear Snowy Owl searchers,

The tameness and location of this putative
Snowy reminds me very much of the Snowy
many of us saw in suburban Columbia, Sc about 15 years ago. It sat on
telephone poles and was
videotaped taking mice offered on the ground,
was very approachable. It seems the lack
of wariness may indicate it's wilderness
origins.
