My brother, who works at Treman Marina at the southwest corner of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, reports a sighting of a Snowy Owl along the lakeshore this morning. The owl may or may not be easily visible from the marina, as he says he only saw her/him after walking west along the lake shore (where the low water level has exposed some of the lake bottom) "until the large roadside ditch joins the lake," near the first house on Route 89. He was able to get a decent cell-phone photo of the owl in flight, and another -- from a distance, but still recognizable -- of her/him sitting on the shore. -Allison Myers
