Photo of the day: Hedwig appears in Oregon
In this Dec. 5. 2011, file photo, a snowy owl comes in for a landing onto a power supply box, in Albany, Ore. Wildlife scientists are puzzling over the appearance of the snowy owl in Oregon, a bird rarely seen in the state. The owls are usually found in Alaska or Canada's tundra, where their white feathers serve as camouflage. But in several places across Oregon, including Burns, Astoria, Lincoln City and Eugene, the Bend Bulletin reports snowy owl sightings.
