At 1:15 p.m. I observed a Snowy Owl perched on a light fixture for eastbound Route 35 just east of I-75 on the southwest side of downtown Dayton. I was able to get very good looks at the bird from Veterans Parkway that runs along the east side of the Great Miami River. I recommend viewing from Veterans Parkway, just south of Route 35, behind the RTA facility. Given the extensive black barring in the bird's plumage, it is likely an immature female.
