Waterlogged Owls

In my continuing series of “waterlogged owls”, I enjoyed watching this female Snowy this afternoon in the pouring rain (I sat in a dry car). She did not appreciate the rain. Today is the latest (April 11th) day I have ever seen a Snowy Owl, but with migration stopped because of northeasterly winds off Lake Superior and rain, she has little incentive to head north. Snowy’s often follow waterfowl north; thus when the migration kicks back in with dryer conditions and a south wind, she should move north with her gravy train.
