Have been away for a few days without computer, but wanted to share an out-of-basin as well as in-basin pair of sightings. While driving on Rt.17/86 E late Friday afternoon, I saw a large, light-colored bird on the very top (hence apex) of a pine tree making it eye level with the highway. Raptor yes, but hawk no! It was a short-eared owl!Then Sunday afternoon, completing a circling of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, something else odd appeared on the top of a telephone pole along Rt. 90. Unless someone was playing a joke, a Canada Goose appeared to be trying to balance on that apex by raising and lowering his head and neck! Strange sightings indeed!Colleen Richards ____________________________________________________________ Sponsored by https://www.newser.com/?utm_source=part&utm_medium=uol&utm_campaign=rss_taglines_more
