I spent this morning looking for the snowy owl around the 4se area. I found it in a field SE of a residence (5215) on Road 5SE. Delorme pg 69 6D.

I had two unusual geese mixed in a flock of about 500 Canada geese. Both had body plumage similar to the Canada's except they both had orange legs, flesh colored bills, I thought I could see a gap between the upper and lower mandibles. One bird the white on it's lower belly extended to it's chest area. Both birds had white heads and black necks with some variation. One the head was all white except a small amount black around the eye, and the white extended down it's neck to the body. This bird also had gray on the front of the neck, so only the sides were black. The other bird's head was white but the black from the neck went up into the crown of the head (but not the forehead). The black from the neck also formed a streak ( line) to the eye. The two birds were not together and were on opposite sides of the flock. I saw no feather edging on back or wings of these birds. The flock was on Road 6 SE about one mile east of Perch Point. Same Delorme citation as above.
