Hi All - 

Idaho birders should not loose hope - a Snowy Owl has been seen in Walla 
Walla Co., WA (and the same bird Umatilla Co., OR). This is the 
southern-most bird reported in the interior northwest so far. They are 
also still being reported from NW Montana but no further than the 
Kalispell area. 

thanks, Charles.

Hello All, 
Today a little after noon MerryLynn spotted the Snowy Owl first reported 
and
photographed by Dennis Rockwell's brother -in-law on 8 Dec. along 
Burggraff
Rd. in Umatilla Co., Oregon. Today however this very dark HYB was 190 
meters 
north of Stateline Rd. in Walla Walla Co., Washington. This bird was 
seen by
many folks from this area and was Walla Walla Co. bird #299 for 
MerryLynn 
and I. This bird is west along Stateline Rd. just beyond MP 5. I placed 
some 
blue bailing twine on the fence line along the road that marks the site
where MerryLynn spotted the owl. Look north to the lone fence post at 
the 
far side of the alfalfa field. This Snowy is mostly black save for a 
white 
face. It is without a doubt the darkest Snowy Owl I have ever seen. It 
looks
more like a version of the Greater Hawk Owl than a Snowy Owl. Also this 
afternoon we located 7 Barn Owls and two Great Horned Owls along Short 
Rd. 
in Walla Walla Co.. It is gray, foggy and cold, but great owling 
weather!!!
Later Mike
