Hi,
 I wondered if anyone had thought to call the Post to see if the photo  they 
ran was of the actual bird or just a stock photo? Though there is a name  
attached to the photo, it didn't actually say that it was a photo of the DC  bird. 
It seems unlikely that there are 2 Snowies in DC at the same time, though  I 
suppose it's possible.

It  did seem like a different bird from the Post article (L and 17th bird 
last  week). This bird seemed to be a female/immature as the barring was more  
pronounced that the original Snowy I saw in the photo. It seemed a  
bownish/blackish barring as opposed to the very black barring of an immature  bird
