Interesting. Maikel and I were out strolling Golden Ponds in Longmont (Boulder County) yesterday evening (4/26). A large white bird the size and shape of a Great Horned Owl flew over. It was very white. It's head was the blocky shape of an owl. I hollared to Maikel (the one with binoculars) but he was too far behind to get on it. So I just let it go with a shrug. Today, I was perusing the Bird Trax at the bottom of the CFO website. And what do I see? A report of a Snowy Owl.
