Subject: [Tweeters] Another Snowy Owl on Capital Hill - 3pm
Date: Nov 14 15:07:07 2012
From: Kevin Purcell - kevinpurcell at pobox.com
I took a friend up to see it and it was still in the same place at 3pm.
Same occasional minor harassment from a pair of crows but it doesn't seem to be moving.
Annie Jacobs was also there and fixed my (poor) tree ID. It's in a Doug Fir.

This time I decided some people from the office might be interested. Four of us went back to the location that I had last seen it and it was gone. We listened for a while and heard more crows and re-found it again on a house roof at the SW corner of Republican and 17th. After more harassment it flew off in a SW direction.
