Snowy

Once every four years, Snowy Owls head south out the Artic and southern Canada in search of food. Snowy Owls primary food is Lemmings and run on a four year cycle. However, for some reason the Snowy Owls are back! That means, that I have to look for a white out of place bump in the snow and two yellow eyes. White on white and maybe some dog paid a visit to the bump of snow. After searching multiple squire miles of open fields and county roads, I almost gave up for the day. Might as well check out the Minneapolis airport, it has paid off before. For some reason, Owls like airports. After an hour of looking with nothing, their on the corner of a build was what I was looking for!! This immature Snowy Owl was watching the world go by and looking for a meal. Now my quest is to find a mature all white Snowy this winter. This Snowy was a great way to cap off our 2013 birding year with 124 different bird found this year in are area and 68 where found just in our backyard.
