Jan. 16, 2019: After many years of spending the Christmas holidays in Nantucket, I finally spotted my first snowy owl. We came upon this one on an afternoon drive up the beach.
I came home and did a little research on this species of owl and learned that they migrate south from the Arctic in search of food. Nantucket is perfect with its open marshes and similar terrain. Apparently, in Nantucket, there has been an insurgency in the past few years.
We were very fortunate; he/she put on quite a show.
