Friend Terry and I went to find her a Snowy Owl (Feb. 1) today, to the Wells locations. No luck at either place mentioned recently, but not surprising, since the whole landscape resembled snowy owls! A neat side treat was the thunderous occasional falling of huge ice chunks in the marsh.
No luck with owls, but my first winter sighting of about 10 Sanderlings on some of the bare ground in the marsh, from Deptula Lane. Possibly these were ones that Derek had in Ogunquit on the 28th. Or maybe they are common in winter in Maine? Black Ducks were numerous; perhaps more than I've seen at once before.
