This Snowy Owl is a rarity here in Vermont. This year there has been a huge irruption of Snowy Owls along the East Coast. I found this female near Montpelier , Vermont on January 5, 2014,  at a small airport.

In addition, there are 2 more pictures of a Snowy in Vermont at the intersection of Rt.10 and 106. This bird was seen on April 18 2014
