Photo Of The Day By Dawn Wilson

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Snowy Owl Enjoying the Jersey Beach” by Dawn Wilson. Location: Island Beach State Park, New Jersey.

“A snowy owl irruption happened in the winter of 2017-2018,” explains Wilson. “It brought dozens of the white owls to the beaches of the northeastern U.S., including New Jersey. Not a common visitor to New Jersey, this owl was a rare opportunity to see this beautiful bird on the Jersey Shore. The fresh snow made for an added unexpected element as the bird sat on a sand dune.”
