As of about 11:30 a.m. the Snowy Owl was sitting on the sand next to a log on the soutern side of Warner Island, the larger sandy island east of the Ponquogue Bridge. The best vantage point is at the end of Road I which is between the bridge and the inlet. Wonderful to run into Dianne Taggart and Amy Halstead while looking at the owl!
Also noteworthy was a flock of about 110 Common Eiders in the bay near the inlet. As others have also reported, around 1:30 p.m. I saw the Mountain Bluebird foraging from the snow fence e/o the intersection of Hulse Landing Road and Route 25A.
