Snowy
Owl
Bubo scandiacus
Starke
County, IN
21 January 2006
This Snowy Owl was found
by Bob Huguenard of North Liberty, Indiana on 20 January 2006. When
my wife Chris and I stopped at Michigan City Harbor on 21 Jan, we
ran into Michael Topp, Ken Brock, Susan Bagby, and John Cassady, who
told us about this bird. After a little searching in the area where
it had been seen, Chris spotted it in a coron field.
We were lucky to be able
to see this bird; unfortunately it was picked up dead near US 30 on
23 Jan 2006, perhaps a road kill.
