Meaghan Sinclair spotted this snowy owl in her Somerville neighborhood today.
This has proven to be an "irruption" season for the owls - in which the population of lemmings on which they normally feed exploded, leading to more owl hatchlings - and lots of owls flying south in search of food. Good Morning Gloucester has been following the exploits of a pair of snowy owls there.

Lemmings, aka
Clif Bars for owls?
Barred owl
I think it’s the Barred Owl that hoots like you have here ( just so the kids at home know).
I Don't Know
This one's a tricky call. But I think the head shape gives it away as a Snowy. The brown in the feathers makes one think twice, but maybe that's just a variation for Snowys. Maybe a first-year plumage. Barreds are much more brown, and have the big full-moon faces.
Anyone know where in Somerville this was spotted? Great catch no matter what it is!

I thought perhaps a barred as well, but the feathered feet changed my mind. I think it's a snowy owl.
It's a hoot
I am pretty sure that Matt was referring to the headline, which mimics a Barred Owl very nicely, rather than the owl in the picture, which is definitely a Snowy Owl. Snowy Owls don't go "who, who are you?"

Wasn't awake enough when I initially read his comment. Thanks for the clarification

He said ""You can go sleep at home tonight

Mostly kidding.

More like rock star privilege

Townsend
I always thought the coolest part about that song was the story that Pete Townsend was getting drunk with Sex Pistols before he woke up in that SoHo doorway.
A sad reminder that music sucks now, and the rock stars of the 70's, 80's and early 90's had way more personality and were much better musically.

Though
if they're going to reduce the lemming population, they should go where they're needed: Trump Country.

Superb Owl
Everyone in New England is excited about the Superb Owl!

We've had spottings of at least one snowy owl down on Wolly beach, and some bald eagle sightings, too! #birdnerd
