Today I stopped by the MSP airport after work to try and get some more pictures of the snowy owl. I did manage to find a snowy on the field across from the Fedex building near the end of the cargo road. Except I do not believe that this is the same snowy that I photographed last week. This bird was not in the best place to photograph, on the ground on the other side of a chainlink fence and quite a ways away but this new bird was definitely a mature male, since he appears to have very little barring. The one that I photographed last week had extensive barring. I am not sure if the airport is big enough to support territory for two snowies or if this new bird is just passing through or took the territory from the other bird. I will post the new pictures as well as one that I took last week for comparison on the blog as soon as I get the new pics cut for Internet resolution.
I also got some pictures of the Prescott harlequin duck this evening. It was some distance away but I did get a couple of OK shots before the light completely faded.
