Hi all just a quick report that yesterday afternoon  2 - 11 - 09  I made a mad dash down to Oxford Maryland  arriving just before the  Lab Closed  were I signed  in    and was able to view the Snowy  Owl  on it regular perch behind the building  for a few minutes before I had to  move on  .  I then went down  near the Boatyard mentioned by Jim Brightion  and the  Snowy Had relocated itself  to the chimney of a near  by house were I enjoyed extended scope  looks at it . At one point  the owl  extended  its neck out and   did  a head bob thing  I have only seen in nature films before that . Quite a thrill .    My thanks go out as well to Carol and  Jim for posting  Owl sightings for the Day .
