I saw the snowy owl this afternoon about 1:30.  There were only three =
other people also behind the glycol plant along Cargo Road when two =
spotted him across the concrete area northwest of the plant.  He was =
sitting right along the fence, with his back to us and against the =
fence, but swiveling his head to look in all directions.  As more =
birders began to appear, more scopes were set up and the owl seemed to =
direct more and more of his attention to the little crowd gathering.  =
He'd glance at the plane when they went by but he was not disturbed by =
them.  He calmly watch all the activity around him.

Thanks to everyone who has diligently and carefully reported their =
sightings and directions.  I'm confident that for many of us this is a =
first - time sighting, and quite a spectacular bird to view!
