Wow! I'm on a mission to find a Snowy Owl this year!! They are sooooo beautiful!! Our thermostat reads -12 right now...coffee is happening! lol Greg, I'm in Freeport, IL., and there has been a snowy owl that frequents the Shannon area every year (at least for the past 6 or 7 years, anyway).
I saw my first Snowy a couple of weeks ago - and got some nice shots. I didn't find one today. But it turned out to be a Short-eared Owl which is endangered in Illinois. Too far for pics but still really cool. Good luck with your quest.
