Observation details
1 across from Bill Ash's Lounge, and 2 north up the beach (including one hunting scoters well offshore!!); After finishing photographing the Snowy on the beach I began seawatching, as there was a large WWSC flock offshore. About one minute into looking at the ducks they all randomly took off and headed north. I looked away from my scope and realized the reason for their abrupt departure was a second Snowy Owl barreling down on them well offshore! I picked up my camera and managed a few photographs of the bird, which quickly gave up on the ducks and banked in my direction. The bird continued straight for me, flew right past me, and landed on the beach a mere 35 feet from the first bird. What a year!
