Well, owl be damned! Whoo would have thought a snowy owl would be perched atop a drugstore in downtown D.C.? Luckily, Philip Yabut was there to capture this photo of the beautiful bird. The snowy owls are heading farther south than normal this year. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is tracking the owls on the website eBird. You can see where they have been seen this year, and in previous “irruption” years. What a hoot!

It may be very cold outside, but it didn’t stop photographer ep_jhu from making photographs yesterday. The shapes and lines in this photo look similar to sun rays, but the abstract wintry scene tells a very contrasting, chilly story.
