Thanks to a nice guy I passed while ‘cruising’ North Marginal Road with my
emergency flashers going, I was able to spot the immature Snowy Owl.  It was
not easy since more than ½ of it was below the runway – the farthest from
the road!  The pictures are not great but keep in mind it was very windy, I
was shooting through the fence and I had to add magnification to the
spotting scope and the camera (I hate excuses – don’t you?).  Oh, and the
lighting was lousy!  I was parked on that horseshoe curve where the freeway
exits to S. Marginal Road, not far from Gate 9 where it was seen once
before.

Happy Thanksgiving!
