...went up to Edmonds Marina to see if possibly the Snowy Owl might still be around. No luck. Went to the end of the fishing pier. A couple of Western Grebes and some windsurfers were about the extent of our sitings. OK did see a Bufflehead and a few gulls.

We did just happen to be there at lunch time - so enjoyed the view over a nice bowl of chowder.

Checked out the dog park area but it was just too windy there and the weather was fast deteriorating.

Headed home and as we were driving down 35th Ave. NE, I was keeping an eye out for the one Snowy that was spotted on Fred Meyers earlier. Just north of there we saw a whitish, owlshaped figure sitting on top of an apartment building. I could barely utter it's, it's, it's an Owl Decoy!!! (Young male)

Better birding next time!!
