Sal at Salisbury Beach
For those of you not sick of seeing Snowy Owl pictures, here you go. I have found “Sal” a couple of times now at Salisbury Beach Reservation. The mockingbird/owl picture from an earlier post is another example. This time Sal was resting at ground level , launched for a brief flight to move just a few feet. Shortly after, Sal took off close to the ground to go across the roadway, between the parked cars, to come to rest again high on a light pole on the other side.
Here you can see how low it flew between the parked cars. There was a car coming up on this same side and I worried there would be a collision, but Sal was safe and I feel certain the driver was quite surprised.
Here are just a couple of others for anyone still needing a Snowy Owl fix:

DAGGERS! SNOWY OWL HEDWIG WEEKLY UPDATE
Our beautiful Snowy Hedwig’s routine hasn’t much changed since she discovered the safety zone provided by hotel rooftops (safe from crows, that is). Hunting during the night, returning at dawn to the roof to various well-hidden niches, and then making her “entrance” at around sunset, she has adapted well to New England coastal living. After preening, pooping, and occassionally passing a pellet, she then scans the neighborhood. Hedwig bobs her head in an up and down motion a half dozen times, then flies east over the sea or west over the Arctic tundra-like golf course.
Snowy Owl Hedwig lifts her head in a bobbing motion to track prey.
Owls cannot move their eyes in the eye sockets. Instead, they employ several techniques to increase their range of sight. An owl can swivel its head a full 270 degrees. Additionally, owls bob their head up and down, a movement that aids in triangulating potential prey.
Dagger Sharp Talons.
Because the forceful impact of the Snowy Owl hitting its prey is so powerful, combined with the vise-like grip of its talons, the animal usually dies instantly.
Hedwig has so far survived three tremendously fierce storms during her stay in Gloucester. Last night, on the eve of the blizzard, she tried to take off several times towards the water. The wind current was strong, but she eventually flew successfully, heading in the direction of Thacher Island. Heres hoping she is waiting out the blizzard in one of her hideaways.
Folks are wondering how long will Hedwig stay. Most Snowies leave Massachusetts by April, although one was recorded at Logan Airport as late as July.
