2 summers ago I was driving down Allegheny river Blvd. toward Verona and just passing the Verona Shops when a very large white owl came out of no where and landed on a tall tree stump it was mostly white with a very long wingspan almost 4 ft hanging down.
It looked very much like this white Arctic Owl I slowed down to get a picture and it took off.
Now OK so I saw a big white owl no big deal only there is a big problem .
They are not native to here . They are in very northern parts of Canada and the Arctic.
not Pennsylvania.

So was this bird just off course or is its some ones pet they let loose? did it escape from an Aviary? Who knows but if this big owl is what people in WV saw this at night I can see it being confused as a moth man
Because they are not suppose to exist around here. but other strange and exotic birds have shown up here after storms knocked them off track so maybe that's the case with this owl and it made its way back to Canada .
Whatever it was it was magnificent.
