This morning, just before 10:00 I glanced out the window of my office to see a large-sized, very white bird soaring and circling near Bryant Lake in Eden Prairie. It was distant enough that I couldn't really ID the thing. While trying to figure out what it was, suddenly a crow found it and started diving at it and harassing it, and was quickly joined by another crow. The crows were relentless, and I guessed this was not merely a very light phased hawk. The white bird was moving off fast and I quickly went out to my car to get my binoculars. Although the bird continued to fly off to the North, I could make out that it was definitely a Snowy Owl! What a moment!
