Also, considering the rain, does one have to walk far from the car in
order to see the owls at the Big Ditch area? Is it fairly obvious where
to go once one actually gets to where the big ditch is on the map?

When my friend and I were there on Tuesday we saw one Snowy Owl. It was in a
field to the left just before the parking lot. It was at the very back of
the field and we really needed a scope to have seen details (which we didn't
have just our binocs). It was sitting on a post.

There was a lot going on bird wise if you parked and walked out onto the dike
but it was also very wet and muddy.
