Snowy owls swoop southward delighting birders
The Associated Press 
(AP) — Biologists say an increase in snowy owl sightings in the South suggests that the arctic species did so well in its northern breeding grounds last year that competition is driving the young ones to warmer climates. The mostly white owls of “Harry Potter” fame are spotted in small numbers in upstate New York and other northern states every winter. This year they’ve also been spotted farther south in states where they’re rarely seen. In Tennessee birders armed with spotting scopes and telephoto lenses scrambled from as far away as Georgia and Alabama to see the first snowy owl reported in that state in 22 years. The owl showed up in early December in the fields surrounding a General Motors plant in Spring Hill Tenn. Sightings were still being posted on the Tennessee rnithological Society’s Web site in late January.
