Hi all!

First time posting here, but long time follower.

I went and visited the Edmonds Snowy Owl on Wednesday the 26th. When I sorted through my pictures, I noticed that there was something thin and dark hanging from the left side of the owl's face, but I couldn't tell if it was a feather or something else. I am concerned that maybe she snagged herself on some fishing line. I am probably worrying about nothing, but with all the people fishing off the pier, fishing line and hooks are always a potential hazard for wildlife. Please let me know if any of you can identify what the object was.


Also, I spent Thanksgiving in Issaquah, so I decided to stop by Lake Sam boat launch to see if I could find the American White Pelican. I Didn't arrive until about 4:15 pm and it was already getting pretty dark. My time was short, so I just did a quick drive by in my car. I couldn't see any sign of the bird, but it's possible that I needed to venture out on one of the docks to get a better view of the lake.
If anyone sees it again let me know :-)

Thanks and hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving.
