Possible Snowy Owl 2/21



*Here is my orginal post.  It was sent at 7:55 PM last night to
Carolinabirds (according to my date/time stamp) but must have fallen into
an email void.  Glad I sent that second message-that did make it -and got a
lot of folks' attention!


Carolinabirders,

Below is a message I just received from friend and ornithologist Ted Simons
in the Zoology Department at NCSU.  I wish that I could check it out myself
in the morning since it would not be too hard to spot and a fantastic State
Bird for me...

I hope somebody can go take a look and post their findings tomorrow!  I
apologize if you all get two copies of the map. I was uncertain if Ted's
orginal attachment would carry over when forwarded to the Listserv.  Never
done this before.
