Susan Danskin & I spent the morning wandering roads in Ovid staring at suspicious lumps of snow and other inanimate objects and not seeing any Snowy Owl. We encountered 5 other parties, each with the same story. A couple other people were planning to try later, and since I haven't heard from them, I suspect they had similar luck. Maybe the Snowy Owl is still around, and it roosts someplace out of view during the day, only sitting atop trees on street corners toward evening. The first party we met was Tim Lenz, Jay McGowan, and Brad Walker, who were kind enough to tell us about the roosting SHORT-EARED OWLS (there were at least 3 at the time) which Colleen Richard mentioned near Rock River Rd & Wycoff Rd. Although we missed the Lapland Longspurs among the many HORNED LARKS we saw, we did find one AMERICAN PIPIT alongside Wycoff Rd and 2 SAVANNAH SPARROWS along Munson Rd.
