My Most Excellent (tho non-birding) Husband agreed graciously to forego our traditional Christmas morning ritual to drive ever so slowly back and forth on Commercial Point Road west of SR 104 (northwest of Circleville) looking for the rumored snowy owl. Because we were creeping along with our flashers on, a nice young man pulled up beside us to ask if we needed help. When we explained we were just hoping to spot a snowy owl, he said, "Oh, I just saw it yesterday--it was perched on top of a telephone pole up ahead. Is it yours?" I replied regretfully that it was not, and today indeed it wasn't. Maybe some day! Pam Unger Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.
