We’ll start 2016 off with a tougher one. We’ve all passed by this owl countless times. But “who” remembers where it is?

Happy New Year to all photo challengers!
Located on top of the Dimes marina building
On top of the buildings at the beach
Are you sure it’s an owl? It looks like “the stuff that dreams are made of.”
Loved your answer.
Westport Arts Center roof!
Dimes Marina at longshore???
Just for the record Ned Dimes Marina is the boat basin at Compo Beach. Not Longshore
Westport Arts Center roof
On roof of small building on Saugatauck River railroad bridge.
22nd place (or something like it), baby!

So far, no one has come close.

Joan, if on a PC, right click the message, and click “not junk.” Then click always trust “comment-reply@wordpress.com” You can also click in that area “never block” that address and/or domain.
Or Joan, you might change the site to 06880 instead of 06990.
The roof is unusual, so my guess is the Inn at Longshore.
On Joey’s roof at Compo Beach…
It’s not Joey’s or Earthplace (Nature Center) roof is the wrong color.
I’ll guess the old Pistano’s Restaurant in Old Mil Beach area for now.
Or 2 Railroad Place the building wedged between boat storage and the railroad bridge/tracks. (The believe the finance company that was in there moved to old Saugatuck Post Office with the auction house)
my guess is either the pavillion at the beach, or one of the roofs of the schools.
Everyone is still wrong!
Sherwood Diner?
Yes! Congratulations, Sharon!
Earthplace roof?
Or is it a place at Burying Hill?
My other guess is a building at one of the town parks, maybe the water building near Grace K Salmon park
This is just a wild guess, but I keep thinking of the little blue building that houses a law office at the intersection of Main Street and Myrtle Avenue.
The remarkable book store
Oh Boy! Time for detective work and binoculars. This picture is taken with a camera with a zoom. Betsy P. Kahn took the picture. She’s quite a photographer and she’s also a Realtor. Armed with that knowledge….
Hmmm…Need to nail down a location.
Is it on a roof in the Compo Beach, Compo S, Soundview, Hillspoint area? Sherwood Island Nature Center? Burying Hill Beach building? Green Farms Academy? Ok is it on Her Roof?
Ok I saw Dan’s answer when I hit send.
Congratulations Sharon!
