Snowy Owl in Jersey City Last Week

   Mike Britt reports: "I know how ridiculous this sounds but there was a Snowy Owl on the beach at Caven Point on Sunday, Aug. 20 )… I wonder if the wintering bird simply summered?
 
  "I know that they have lingered at Logan Airport in Boston until July in the past…but an August bird in Jersey…"
