The Snowy Owl was best visible about 0.25 miles west of Harvest on 138th (dirt roads) looking northward across a fallow field. Near the crest of the hill is a natural gas line -- marked by green and yellow posts -- and the owl spent most of the time in the brush -- with only the head visible. However, in the afternoon, the Snowy Owl thrilled all of us by catching prey and eating it -- blood on the bill clearly visible by scope. And -- after dining, the owl jumped on top of one of the natural gas posts -- giving all of us a great full view in the late afternoon. We only saw one owl all day -- no sign of any juveniles. From what I can tell, the owl was further away and not in the open field as previous. We were very fortunate to spot the owl in the brush. You'll need good binoculars or a scope. The area is about 2 miles due east of the entrance to Barr Lake State Park off of Picadilly -- but it's longer for lack of a direct route. Scores of Horned Lark too!
