Arctic Visitor

As it dosen't look like I'm going to getting out on the water in these last couple of weeks before the end of the year, I thought for my potential last post for this blog, that I would have to break ranks from marine to terrestial and post this photo of a Snowy Owl taken by Paul L'Etoile during last weekend's Newport-Westport Annual Christmas Bird Count. It was a bone-chilling cold day that ended up in a snow storm, so the birds were hunkered down- with the exception being these Snowy Owls, of which we counted at least four, possibly five in our sector.

                                                            Merry Christmas all.
