It’s said that if you expect nothing, you can never be disappointed, and this was the attitude that I started out with today as I headed for the Metz in search of Snowy Owls. Finding these birds seemed like some combination of spotting a needle in a haystack and a polar bear in a snowstorm (more so the latter as the weather worsened), but I managed to rustle up two adult females while slowly patrolling the back roads. The first I should have missed, being only a slight aberration against a line of distance fence posts though the falling snow, but for once luck was on my side. The other bird was found during my second loop of the area, this one nearer the road (and my scope).
