Snowy Owl

[Tucker]

Went to fish the outlet at Clinton Yesterday and there was a snowy owl sitting on the rocks. I saw a sign that KDWP must have put up for "snowy owl ettiquite" so I'm not sure if it is injured and has been there for a while or if several owls have been in that area. Anyway, a cool site to see. We Kansans might not see an animal like this in our lifetime. Just thought I'd share.

Very good. I was hoping I could spot one when I was out on the water after reading this article.

A week ago a friend of mine went to Clinton specifically to see if he could spot a Snowy Owl around the dam, he talked to someone with a spotting scope and this guy was watching one sitting on a sign down by the spillway so my friend went down there and there it sat, almost like it was tame.......very cool!!

They're not bad with a little garlic butter marinade and a side of asparagus tips.....I'm just sayin'....

That's really cool. I wish you had taken some pics!

I was down near the Kansas River today and heard a really loud screech from some big bird of prey. I hoped I might see a bald eagle, but by the time I got down to the bank there wasn't anything flying. (except snow geese) It seems like it's normally January and February that I see eagles on the river.

Just out of curiosity, what are the rules for snowy owl etiquette?
