Snowbird

So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

There's a story about a snowy owl hanging out in Cyress, CA and people are flocking there to get pictures:  'Like Seeing Santa Claus on a Beach'

Around Christmas time, I saw this bird on the big tree by the highway...I couldn't quite ID it, it's not the greatest picture but it had an owl-like face and I thought it may be a Northern Harrier.. but now with this story, I wonder if it wasn't the snowy owl before it headed south.

Snowy owls in Southern California are about as rare as snowy owls in Southern California but it's a cold winter and maybe that's the one...

I'd like to think it is
