Re: [cayugabirds-l] Snowy Owl in Varick
Saw the all white snowy owl at 10:10 sitting in a field on yale farm road between 96A and Mcgrane rd.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Question on American Crow roost
Hi Mona and all. Thanks so much for the information. I will answer Mona at greater length separately. But I do want to take this chance to reiterate our interest in information like this about crow roosts around the state, in the context of a major two year study. Hopefully soon, but perhaps not in time for this winter, we will have a reporting website where details of location, size, etc for crow roosts can be left for us...as well as any negative comments about the effects of roosting crows. It is in part those effects on which the study is focussed. The url will be www.crowroosts.org. Thus, if anyone is seeing regular night roosts of hundreds to thousands of crows anywhere in upstate NY, not just the Basin, I would greatly appreciate hearing about them. Just drop me an email. Many thanks, Anne On Feb 21, 2015, at 9:10 AM, Mona Bearor wrote: We have discovered a very large American Crow roost in Glens Falls, Warren county, NY. Estimates are between 15 - 20,000 birds.
