Spring Snowy

















Yesterday we saw something that we had hoped to see all winter but never did... a Snowy Owl!  We got a call from my dad in the morning saying that there was a snowy owl sitting on the rocks on the Lake Superior shoreline right out in front of his house.  We headed over there as quick as we could, realizing that he would probably be gone already but hoping that he might still be there.  Well, we were lucky and he was still there!  It's pretty unusual to see one of these owls even in the winter (the most likely time to see them), but especially unusual this close to summer.  We watched him from the patio doors of my parents house for about 5 minutes, then he flew off around the point and down the shore. It sure was a terrific start to our day!
