> Here is a link to shots of some feathers found on our property here in
> Snohomish County. We live on five acres just off Three Lakes Road. We
> have a wetland area, now in a dry phase, and tall evergreens on the
> edge of the property. All adjoining properties are 4 acres or more and
> quite woodsy. Last night around eight PM, a huge owl was sighted
> sitting on a tall post overlooking the stream and the heavy woods on
> the north side of the property. At dusk about three weeks ago I
> sighted a large low flying brown bird flying over the dry wetland.
>
> Here's the link to my Flickr page. I have made the shots public and
> are the first ones on my page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gizathecat/

> Are these owl feathers? My sister-in-law and husband saw the bird.
> She said the owl turned its head all the way around.
