Hi all,

Just got another report of a Snowy Owl seen in Franklin County around 5:30 yesterday evening. It was flying around and perching on telephone poles near the junction of Fisher and Phillipi roads on the west side of Columbus. The observer reports that it was very white, with little in the way of black barring. That would seemingly rule out the other Franklin County owl seen yesterday, which was heavily barred.

Might be worth a look around that area, should anyone find themselves on the west side. Be mindful that the area is heavily industrial with lots of big truck traffic.
