A friend of mine just saw the Snowy Owl this morning. I'm driving up there tomorrow when the weather is better. Hope its still there! It's been 10 years since a Snowy has been seen in Texas and that was up in the panhandle. This one is near Dallas. I'm just itchin' to go!

Just took these pics of a very wet Cooper's Hawk. If there had been even a bit of sun, I would so have entered these in the contest, but they are too dark and gray. Still, how funny looking is he!
