Bird of the Week
Snowy Owl
Bubo scandiacus
The winter of 2011-2012 is shaping up to be an "irruption" year for Snowy Owls. Influenced by the cyclical lemmings populations in their Arctic breeding grounds, Snowy Owls will periodically winter further south than normal in search of food. This winter, one was even seen in Hawaii!
Birding Site of the Week
Samish Flats
Puget Trough
Wanna look for Snowy Owls? The dikes and fields of the Samish Flats may be a good bet. Want a surer bet? Head further north - and across the borer - to Bounday Bay.
