Cool!  I was wondering if one was going to make an appearance down there this winter.  Hope I get a brief visit with her.

I've been waiting for one to show up there... hope she sticks around a little while.

I saw her this morning.  She was unintentionally being disturbed by some contractors and probably will be all day, and however many days after they are down there doing work around the area of her resting spot.

And while I sat and watched this Snowy, the Northern Shrike appeared behind me, watching me.  It was a pretty cool moment.

One of the dock workers accidentally flushed her this afternoon, but she's still around. Hopefully it's not enough to chase her off for good.
