--------------------------- PLEASE REPLY.....Are you referring to
Leadbetter Point at the north tip of Long Beach Peninsula in
Wash.......or is there another Leadbetter Point that I am not familiar
with???? I am going to spend a few days at the ocean just north of Long
Beach, Wash. right after Xmas, and would be interested in sighting MORE
Snowy Owls. .....Thanks. Gerald Hamilton Brush Prairie,
