Snowy Owl #1 - Duxbury Beach, MA - November 30, 2013 [1 of 4]

This bird was found Saturday morning along the Gurnet-Saquish Road atop the first cottage as you head west. These 4 photos were all taken from the car without having to leave the road. The bird was alert but not at all rattled. When I left it to go further west on the beach a photographer on foot remained at the location. When I returned about 15 minutes later, the photographer was gone while the bird remained.

This is a different bird from the one seen on 11/22 as determined from its markings - primarily on the back of its head. Neither of today's birds had any colored markings indicating that it had been relaocated from Logan airport. The first 2 photos are closeups and the next two draw back to provide a feel for the setting.
