This morning I set out to make a run at besting the Mason County daily record of 6 Snowy Owls that I set in December and was tied on Thursday by Tom Bagwell. I started in the US-31 area where Tom found all of his owls within roughly a quarter mile of the highway.
Between 9 AM and noon I found seven Snowies within a couple of miles of the US-31 corridor. Below is a map of where the first 6 were located.

The seventh owl was found on a pile of tires in a yard on Tuttle Rd between Hansen and Decker. As it sat motionless in the backyard of the residence a large Great Dane played in the front yard.

The eighth Snowy was found on the reservoir at my worksite.

As I was leaving my workplace a Bald Eagle flew near and provided a photo op.
Congratulations Mark.
ReplyDeleteThanks, when Tom Bagwell found 6 in the US-31 area the other day I figured my restricted access worksite could be good for another 1 or 2.
