Observation details
Landed on a research bouy; The following reported by researchers aboard the ship: While getting ready to deploy [moorings], a snowy owl chased down the ship and landed on the surface buoy. The Owl seemed to be tired from a long flight. He, or she, sat on the buoy for 15 or 20 minutes resting with its wings held out as if cooling off. The owl did not seem to be bothered, or was too tired to care, about the fascinated observers less than 10 feet away. The owl was seen the following day at different locations around the ship.
