Now I would like to see a snowy owl, but I have not tried to chase one...yet! I hear they are showing up at Plum Island in MA, so maybe this weekend we will see if I can find 1. Then perhaps I will have to go searching for something new! That's quite the funny story though and I can totally relate to the people with dogs (and kids) story!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-14960483476065471002011-11-30T06:45:59.663-07:002011-11-30T06:45:59.663-07:00I haven't done the chasing thing yet but plain...I haven't done the chasing thing yet but plainly after watching The Big Year I need to expand my destination horizons. :)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-28828136833930858482011-11-30T04:50:39.815-07:002011-11-30T04:50:39.815-07:00very nice post - my jinx until just recently were ...very nice post - my jinx until just recently were owls, hopefully the jinx is fully broken<br /><br />danDan Huberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587246278289468905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-19121351574551141312011-11-29T12:43:15.969-07:002011-11-29T12:43:15.969-07:00I've been lucky enough to see a couple Slaty-b...I've been lucky enough to see a couple Slaty-backs in Alaska (although I thought one of them was a Vega Herring at the time), but I have missed many in California...including one this month already!
