Observation details
Spotted while driving. Spooked it from it’s perch which I believe was probably atop a sand dune. Bulky appearance and almost solid white (some black flecking). Since I have never seen one before, my first thoughts were Great Egret but the wing span and body build definitely didn’t match. I stopped the car and the owl circled over the road and perched atop a nearby tree. I was able to get a few photos of it through the branches before it flew off. **Update, upon returning to the same area, owl was spotted a second time around 1:30 pm, updated with new photos
