Observation details
Continuing rarity first reported yesterday. Accounts suggest this immature owl has been in this neighborhood, and at least one street over for a week or so. How this rarity arrived has become immediate speculation among birders: did it arrive at a nearby harbor on a ship? Anyway, excited to see this large whitish owl speckled with brown, perched by a chimney, sometimes preening, always looking, head swiveling, once in a while at the large crowd, sometimes at nearby birds, sometimes seeming half asleep, though still alert.
