A Snowy Owl awaits a snowy weekend

These beautiful photos were taken by Beth Fleishaker on Jan. 19, along with information in her SeaCatchers Facebook post:

Today I found a beautiful immature female Snowy Owl sitting at the end of an empty Avalon Pier. She was enjoying her quiet rest in the warming sun before her next flight. It is very exciting to see them here on the Outer Banks because they are native to the Artic regions, they migrate in the winter to southern Canada, New York and New England.
