It was a Snowy Owl surprise!
March 10, 2014 – Kerwin Leader braved the below freezing temperatures in southeastern Michigan late Friday afternoon to shovel snow - and ice - from his driveway. Unbeknown to him though, he had a visitor watching him. Perched at the top of a tree in his backyard was a beautiful Snowy Owl, a rare species of migratory bird with an Arctic habitat.
