[Taxacom] Huge irruption of snowy owls

[Kenneth Kinman]

Dear All,
      I see that the Ottawa newspaper (and numerous other news outlets)
are now covering this winter's huge irruption of snowy owls into the
northern United States, even into large areas of Kansas.  There haven't
been this many snowy owls in Kansas since the winter of 1974-1975, so
there must be huge numbers north of us.  A record of the sightings in
Kansas this winter (thus far) can be found here:
