Guess what? My daughter called me at 7:15 this morning to tell me another Snowy has been sighting on rocks off Shippan Point by a well-known local birder, right here in Stamford. Wife and I headed down there and indeed, it was low tide and the Owl, almost a pure-white adult, was sitting on a pile of rocks out in the water. Since high tide is coming, he'll have to move somewhere - maybe Greenwich Point. My picture is too blurry to post here. I don't have one of those 15" long lenses. Some of those cost about $15K. A bit rich for me. I could buy a TR6 for that kind of money.

The photo looks especially appropriate with the BCF "snow" blowing over it.
What a beauty! We have a pair of Great Horned Owls battling for nesting and mating territory high above the pine trees in our backyard. Mostly hooting and squawking but sometimes all out combat. Big birds with even bigger talons and wingspands about 5 FT maybe 6. I like them but rather noisy at 3AM.

Reminds me of the scene in My Cousin Vinny when Vinny is invited to stay at a cabin in the woods and is unceremoniously awakened by a screeching owl in the wee hours.

I have been known to enjoy some bird watching.
