Our first and only Snowy Owl was seen in the early 90's walking back and 
forth on the peak of the roof of a one-story tract house in a well-developed 
Rockville, Montgomery County, neighborhood while crows dived at it.  What 
was probably the same bird later wandered into downtown Bethesda and ended 
up dead on an office building roof in downtown Washington after apparently 
colliding with an air handler unit.
