A fun encounter with this normally nocturnal creature. A friend and I spotted it as it took flight and landed in this spot during our recent spring snowstorm. Thankfully, it opted for a spot relative in the open and really looked beautiful against snow-covered tree branches. It didn’t sit long, soon choosing to find a more private spot to rest, but it was cool to see while it lasted.
