The return of
bone-chilling temperatures to the mid-Atlantic this week brought with it
a nice surprise to Washington, D.C.: a snowy owl.
The bird,
normally found in the northern circumpolar region, delighted
bird-watchers and commuters in the nation's capital on Wednesday,
perching itself atop an awning at 15th and K streets.
"It appeared from seemingly out of nowhere," the Washington Post reported. "Pedestrians at rush hour stopped in their tracks. Was it some kind of omen?"
“What in the world?” one man said, according to the paper.
