To contiune Tuesday's tale of the Edmonds snowy owl.?
?
When I got down to the?marina a little after 1:00pm,? the?owl was at the south end of the breakwater opposite the fishing pier.? It was reported by others?at the pier that the owl?was originally farther north on the breakwater, but relocated when a?racoon approached to?eat the carcass of a dead bird lying nearby on the breakwater.??
?
The owl pretty much sat still the entire time I was there, then began stretching and grooming itself around sunset.? About?4:45pm the owl took off east and landed on the roof of Arnie's Restaurant, where it remained a few minutes before flying east across?Admiral Way?to perch on top of the radio?tower at the south end of the BNSF railroad's office, located just south of the Dayton St. crossing.??
?
I wonder if tonight?the owl?will be trying its luck hunting?at the nearby marsh. ?
