Description: Taken in Biddeford Pool, Maine. The owl is perched atop a power pole. Biddeford Pool is the site of Maine's first recorded permanent settlement, then called Winter Harbor. In the winter of 1616-1617, Richard Vines, a physician, resided here as part of the colonization efforts of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, lord proprietor of Maine. An early village developed on the north side. In 1708, Fort Mary was built near the pool's entrance. (Wikipedia). Date: 8 February 2014, 14:47. Source: Snowy Owl.
