I did, years ago. My next door neighbor's yard if that counts. I went out
early in the morning to look at the temperature (Very cold) and saw this
white blob on top of her topped Doug Fir. I put on my glasses and got the
binocs. Sure enough it was a Snowy Owl. By the time I got dressed it was
gone. This was maybe 20 years ago, just south of Evergreen Washelli
Cemetery, 107th and Densmore in Seattle. Wasn't in my yard but I saw it
from my back door in my Bathrobe so I count it.

Has anyone checked the Christian Science Church next to Group Health on
Capitol Hill? Was one there for a long time last time. No reason for it to
come back though. Hmm.
