The winter of 2013-2014 has been filled with endless surprises!  Snowy Owl sightings in unexpected places leads the hit parade of pleasant surprises.  A good friend who serves as the Catholic priest chaplain at Holy Family Hospital in Methuen calls on my cell phone.  He is bubbling over with excitement about the Snowy owl sitting on the roof atop the chapel, of all places!  What a treat to be able to stop by and capture a few close up photos of this beauty!
