Rare Wildlife Encounter!

Have not seen the owl, but last summer, there was a flock of about 6 or so PELICANS on the Ohio River near Cannelton. We watched them float down the river, and the lock operators opened the lock gates to let them through. We did get a couple of pics, I will have to see if I can find them.......

I just was told that the snowy owl is still near the airport.

Where are the best viewing spots? I might try to take a drive out there on Thursday if it's still around.

Keep tabs on him, he may come back to the area every winter. In the 70's and early 80's a Snowy Owl would come to my Uncles farm outside of Logansport on the Wabash to spend the entire winter. It is very rare that they migrate so far South for winter.

Cool!

Terrific photos! My wife and I have actually seen one circle our place here in Brown County this past February. Wish I could have gotten a pic.

Amazing to see these birds in our part of the state. Hope owl is able to stay safe...
Thanks for the photos.

Depends where he's roosting, I will be out there Wednesday & Thursday if he's still out there. I will keep you posted!

Many years ago, traveling a country road in Cass County late at night, a huge white owl drifted across the road in front of me. It was one of the coolest sights ever.

A little off topic but not really... Took this picture of a falcon eating a little black bird in the parking lot at Wal-Mart in Greenfield yesterday around 16:45.

Be honest. You were repeating Harry Potter lines while taking the photo, weren't you? ;-)

Great pic. Very great pic.

That's a coopers hawk, I've seen him perched on the wood fence behind walmart. I got a photo of one eating a mourning dove at Riley Hospital back in 2009.
