My Latest Column: Snowy Owls, Shrikes
My latest column is on two rare but awesome winter visitors, the Snowy Owl and the Northern Shrike. The link is here.
Photo of the Snowy, above, is by Herb Houghton. The photo below, of the Northern Shrike, is by Ron Shields.
(Thank you, Herb and Ron, for letting me use your photos!)
