The Snowy Owl is still at Killington ski area base as of noon today. Many skiers stopped to watch it when they saw me photographing it. Not a bad first bird of the year! Here's a shot of it after it flew down to a snow pile from the tree top. http://www.flickr.com/photos/vtebird/11690114995/ Kent ____________________________ Kent McFarland Vermont Center for Ecostudies PO Box 420 | Norwich, Vermont 05055 802.649.1431 x2 [image: VCE Logo] <http://www.vtecostudies.org/> <http://vtecostudies.wordpress.com/> <https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vermont-Center-for-Ecostudies/56930912454> <https://twitter.com/VTEcostudies> **************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
