Snowy Owl Sighting (Essay)

NPR's Fred Wasser tells us about his first bird-watching trip, a search for a Snowy Owl that was spotted in Frederick County, Maryland. The white and fluffy bird breeds in the Arctic tundra and often travels south during the winter months in search of food. According to folklore, a close encounter with this bird could turn your life around.
