Nature Notes

On this day, Richard went Duck Hunting with his brother Hollis and nephew Hollis Dale. Before Daybreak and just North of Macon, Hollis Dale slowed the Car for a Snowy Owl who was running/flying after a Mouse.

Richard remembers seeing a Snowy Owl here as a Kid but sightings are fairly uncommon. They were surely common when we were living in North Dakota.

The Old Timers always looked for "Signs". I wonder what the sighting of a Snowy Owl in the area means: Are we going to have a Hard Winter? Is the Food better and more abundant here? Is there an abundance of Snowy Owls to the North?

At the very least, it means the 3 Hunters saw a Snowy Owl. (She grins with amusement as she writes.)
