I hiked the South Ridge Trail of Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain this morning and flushed a Snowy Owl. From the summit, I set up my spotting scope to look across to the summit of Sargent Mountain and saw one seeming to pounce on a possible prey item—the owl was tiny in the scope but unmistakably a Snowy. These were my first of the season (but not, as my 10-year-old daughter reminded me, my first of the year: those were way back in January).
