Snowy Owl is still in place (on the gull on the ground by the blue recycling bin at 129 11th Ave - SW corner of E John St and 11th Ave E) at 0950 this morning.

Slightly bemused by attention (in that Snowy Owl manner). Even quite tolerant of non-birders getting a bit too close for a photo (where are those "honking big lenses" when you need them :-)
