Positive Update on Snowy Owl Numbers

From Project SNOWstorm

Sometimes it's nice to be wrong.

When the Project SNOWstorm team held its annual planning meeting in August, there had been no reports from the Arctic suggesting there'd been a significant snowy owl breeding event anywhere - at least, anywhere that scientists were aware of. After last year's modestly nice irruption, we were preparing ourselves for a quiet winter without too much activity.

I haven't gotten to read the entire article yet, but it sounds like this year has been abundant with baby Snowies! They mention some rare Snowy sightings in Minnesota, and I'm seeing a bunch of sites here in Pennsylvania reporting them as well.

Do well, little snow angels!
