Remsen, J.V. 1974 Snowy Owl Nyctea scandiaca Feb. 11 300 block, Shellgate St., Alameda, Alameda Co., Calif : one bird perched on TV antenna, where it has been seen for the better part of Feb 9 and 10. This bird was a very white one, definitely an adult, with no markings on underparts and only sparse dark markings on wings. Interestingly, the rooftes in this part of town are covered with a white rocky substance which may resemble white sand dunes to an owl. Although Alameda South Shore beach is one block away and relatively deserted Bay Farm Is. is within sight across the channel, the owl seems to prefer this spot in the middle of a condo- minimum-urban block. It has been seen by hundreds of people, but seems not to be bothered by the crowd that is constantly gathered on the street. The TV antenna is on a ~~two-story building and so it is about 40' above the crowd. However, people on nearby apartment building balconies are actually above the owl. This is the first confirmed sighting away from coastal sand dunes in central Calif. besides a roof-top bird in San Francisco which remained for only an hour or so.
