I went out fairly late today, so didn't see a lot. I saw snow geese
near my house on Chestnut Ridge Rd. in Sennett. Went by the Mud Lock
eagle's nest but no one was home. Drove through Montezuma, but
nothing much different- C geese and swans.. At Benning, there was a
Great Blue Heron. Went to the Mucklands on rt. 31 and saw both Canada
and Snow geese. On rt. 89 near the Winery there was a beautiful, male
harrier. Headed to the Outlets next. Only spotted one Red-tail hawk
and a kestrel on rt. 318.
At the outlet mall, Snowy was perched on a ball on the red tower by
the food court. It was attracting a lot of attention with the
shoppers. It flew down to the dry creek bed in that area, but didn't
catch anything. Next it flew to a light pole in the incut by
Samsonite. It didn't stay long. Then it went to pole 6 by Old Navy
(still attracting attention). By then it was 3:30 and getting quite
dark so I packed up to leave. It flew again before I left. I spotted
it back on the first red tower when I was leaving. In the hour or so
that I watched it, it did not catch anything. I got a full body
shot of it today which I put on my website.
