I, along with about a dozen other birders, saw the Snowy Owl near Mud Level Rd this morning around 11:00 am.  It was in a corn field off of the Cumberland Valley Railroad trail.  Only its upper parts were initially visible.  But 2 ravens spotted it and started to harrass it.  It came out into full view and tried to threaten one of the ravens, but the raven stood its ground.  Finally, the owl flew off.  The bird is very white (few streaks), a feature confirmed by local birders who had seen it before.  Parking at the Trail Head is limited.
