Keeping with the recent theme of owls... I have seen two in the past twenty-four hours. A
Barred Owl crossed the road in front of me at dusk last night and then today I saw this beauty along the road in northwest Isabella County.

This Snowy Owl (
Bubo scandiacus) has been hanging around the same general location since Thanksgiving Day. I found it along Weidman Road., between Littlefield Road and Gilmore Road. At one point a flock of Snow Buntings (
Plectrophenax nivalis) swooped around over the owl's head - two arctic tundra species meeting in Mid-Michigan. It makes you wonder if these individuals migrated from the same location only meet up again here.
