The following in an excerpt from the first Project SNOWSTORM blog of the season. As there have been at least three reports reported in the Saginaw Bay Area, this article is timely for birders to be aware of a potential good year, once again, for a Snowy Owl invasion.
Good Snowy Owling!

"Welcome back to Project SNOWSTORM. Our last update was back in early May, when only one of our tagged snowy owls was still far enough south to be in cell range. That bird, Chippewa, headed north around May 1, and since then all’s been quiet, as the snowies returned to the Arctic breeding grounds.
We’ve been busy since then — in fact, Oct. 14-15 we convened a meeting of many of Project SNOWstorm’s collaborators in Cape May, NJ, hosted by New Jersey Audubon’s Cape May Bird Observatory."
