January 4th: This isn't the greatest picture, but how could I pass up taking a shot of a snowy owl on a rooftop near my house? One of my friends had watched him all afternoon, and the owners of the house below said they were pretty sure he was munching on a squirrel. The whitest snowy owls are males, and all of them spend the summers hunting above the Arctic Circle, so this fellow has come a long way to spend the winter with us. Many thanks to Colleen Cirillo for telling me about him, and for Victor and Kathy for being his unwitting hosts.
