Dixon snowy

•



The second rare visitor to delight Sue Wagoner and her fellow Illinoisans was this snowy owl that hung around Dixon all winter. (Must be a good place to pass the time. With all the harsh weather, the snow white owl must felt at home.)

Tundra dwellers in summer, they do venture into the U.S. occasionally in winter, primarily along the Northern Tier. Occasionally a snowy will migrate as far south in winter as the Volunteer State, one made it to Tennessee in January 2009, but I didn't get a chance to see it.

Thanks again, Sue.
