The Outagamie County Regional Airport’s owl has been leading me on quite a chase.
It's a snowy owl, an occasional visitor from the arctic who takes a foodie vacation in Wisconsin when its favorite rodent back home, the lemming, falls into short supply.
This has been one of those years, which is odd because so was last year.
CHECK OUT:
My wife spotted the snowy near the airport first. She was driving down State 96 and saw it on a utility pole.
A week or so later, I was scanning the airport perimeter with jealousy still in my heart, when I saw outstretched wings directly above my truck. The figure was white and it had the unmistakeable wide head of an owl.
Having seen it, my next challenge was to photograph it.
