    I’ve seen a snowy white owl just like this one in Irvine. On top of a roof of my 3 story apartment complex. It was just staring at me late in the night. Even when it wasn’t facing me, he turned his head around his body 180 degrees to look at me

      Yep replanting trees is good but wouldn't help or bring any population of these kinds of birds to these kind of areas. To many cars, people, and other obstacles just doesn't make it a warming environment for them.

She flew directly towards me making eye contact the whole time, i thought it was going to hit the windshield. She missed it by a hair, it felt like a movie.this is amazing!!!

    Everyone concerned about what they can get out of this. Nobody considers the danger the bird in. It didn't get to California naturally so something needs to be done to get it back to a place it can survive. Otherwise it's dead in a few days/weeks/months.
