LORAIN COUNTY -- Some Lorain County students got a real-wildlife lesson thanks to an unexpected visitor.

The kids were coming in from recess at Washington Elementary school when they noticed a snowy owl perched on top of the building

The teacher didn't waste any time and used the sighting as part of a lesson!

Our outdoor expert says the birds are very rare in our area,  but there have been several sightings this winter.

If you're a Harry Potter fan and think the bird looks familiar, you are right. Harry's owl, Hedwig, was a snowy owl.
