Tough Day

On Tuesday, February 23rd, as publicity about her new locations has grown about the Snowy Owl, more and more people are coming to see her. Today, there was a large crowd as she arrived at the Compost Heap and she stayed only a few minutes. Then when she was on the eastern portion of the North Meadow, a high school student decided to walk up to her and broke the fencing. She was then flushed and flew briefly to the Tennis Courts, before returning to the North Meadow.

She then flew to the Compost Heap before going out of sight. She was seen near the Tennis Courts, hunted to the south west and reappeared with a rat on one of the courts. She changed spots once and then due to a dog barking, flew to the North Meadow with her partially eaten rat. She finished it, cleaned her beak and did her playful dance she does after eating. This was about two hours later than normal.

At this point it was Midnight and I left the park with her still on the meadow.
