I just found it 10 minutes ago. Miley isn't here and it moves. On rocks on Long Island Sound side sheltered from wind.

The owl was still there when I left around 2 pm.  Only three other birders were present.  This is an exceptionally handsome Snowy Owl -- well worth the trip.Judy Moore Woodbridge----- Original Message -----From: Scott Kruitbosch Date: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 11:35 amSubject: [CT Birds] Actual real Snowy Owl Stratford PointTo: CT Birds > I just found it 10 minutes ago.

As an update,  I returned to Stratford Point about 3:45pm, and was told that a
jogger flushed the owl from the bluff.  It flew across the river mouth to the
offshore breakwater, where Paul Fusco and I were scoping it till sunset (about
4:25).
