Though there was a reliable report of a SNOWY OWL in Central Park in December 1890, today's owl seems to be, as we tweeted, the first *documented* with photos and certainly the first seen by many.pic.twitter.com/k2F1cb2I1k

Yes but the original 1890 owl was documented as well...via print. I don't think many folks were photographing owls back then...and certainly no one had a telephoto lens.

It's not exactly an easy bird to mistake for another...
