Unusual visitor to Mississippi County

 

According to Wikipedia, the Snowy Owl is one of the largest in North America.  Usually found in Canada, they are the official bird of Quebec.

That's a question experts at Arkansas State University and Chris Hutchings of Gosnell are still asking.

Chris sent these photos of a baby white owl that had fallen out of its nest a few months ago.
