1:50 p.m. update: A gentleman walking near the Transco Trail reports that he accidentally spooked the Snowy, and it took off toward the turnpike. May still be around but…
There’s a Snowy Owl on the ice on the Saw Mill Creek Tidal Impoundment. Take the Transco Trail toward the NJ Turnpike. Spotting scope is best, but it can be seen through binoculars.
Needless to say, stay on the trail.
Not 30 seconds after I spoke to you by the twin docks a shadow passed me. I looked up and watched as the snowy owl circled over toward the landfill higher and higher until it disappeared heading north. Wasn’t me that scared him this time…..
