After some early morning steelhead fishing on the Ashtabula River, I stopped
at the harbor area about 1pm. At Point C, looking north, I saw the snowy owl
on the ground in a weedy area at the west edge of the channel just above the
rip rap on the shore. It was at some distance, but readily visible with a
scope. I watched it for about 10 minutes and it was quite alert, constantly
turning its head around looking in various directions. That was a great
sighting for me, since I have not seen one in many years. 

There were very few gulls about at that time, so I did not see the
black-tailed gull, nor did I see any Canada Geese or associated Ross' Goose.
I also did not see a single other birder, but it was a very rainy day. Randy
