Hi everyone,
 
I also saw the Snowy Owl at Assateague Island today.  After  hiking for just 
over 2 hours I had given up and was starting to hike back when  some really 
nice fishermen pulled over in their vehicle and offered to drive me  to where 
the owl was.  It turns out I had given up maybe a half mile  short of the owl's 
location, which was around the 25km mark and somewhere  between a half mile to 
a mile south of the "Bullpen" area.  The  fishermen said they had seen the 
owl several times and that it was consistently  moving south by at least 1km per 
day.  Did I mention the fishermen were  really nice?  After getting to the 
owl they waited for me to take some  photos and then drove me back to the 
parking lot.  A ride VERY GRATEFULLY  received!!  It was a nice day for the hike but 
... I was glad to get a ride  back nevertheless.  I've posted one photo, you 
can see it  at:
