Great sight in Albany Yesterday…..A Snowy Owl….I’ve had reports of sightings over the past week or so at various spots. We NEVER say where th3ey are so to keep things quiet…if you see one, please don’t post on social media and tell the exact location….They are fairly rare…less than 100,000 world wide and an estimate 28,000 breeding pairs.
