I have never seen one in the wild..but the way this report reads.we all might get a chance if they decide to visit the Chesapeake Bay area...

So if you see a flash of white, it is all right as it may be a Artic snowy owl!! :yahoo:



"Bird enthusiasts are reporting rising numbers of snowy owls from the Arctic winging into the lower 48 states this winter in a mass southern migration that a leading owl researcher called "unbelievable."

Thousands of the snow-white birds, which stand 2 feet tall with 5-foot wingspans, have been spotted from coast to coast, feeding in farmlands in Idaho, roosting on rooftops in Montana, gliding over golf courses in Missouri and soaring over shorelines in Massachusetts. "

Here is the rest of the story from MSNBC.
