ACROSS AMERICA — People living in the nation's capital were treated to a rare sight — a snowy owl perched on statues and monuments far from its breeding grounds in Canada.
Also this week, 17 people were killed in a Bronx apartment fire, colleagues of the late Sen. Harry Reid paid their respects as his body lay in state at the Capitol, the Georgia Bulldogs won the national college football championship, and President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned for voting rights.
We start the collection with another photo of the snowy owl visiting Washington, D.C.
