Observation details

Continuing bird, seen and photographed by many. It took me a while to find it as when I first arrived a group of birders had just seen the bird several minutes before. They said it flew off to the other end of the island. After a several hours the weather started to change. A cold front was coming through. It started to rain. Finally, I saw a couple of people with bins, scopes and cameras on the beach. There sitting on top of one of the dunes was the golden target...Snowy Owl! It was napping, preening and napping some more. It was a huge, mostly white bird! I was new to digiscoping and did not have a phone adaptor. After several tries I managed to get a shot...the owl in the moon! LIFE BIRD! SNOWY OWL IN FLORIDA!
