After Dave Kennedy's elaboration of Suzanne Broderick's directions to the Snowy Owl at the NY Chiropractic College, Susan Danskin saw it and explained how she and I and several other competent birders didn't look carefully enough yesterday. I swung by for a look about noon and learned from birders at the site that the bird had flown west past the hedgerow onto the ground in an adjacent farm field where a poor view through the trees was possible (but difficult) if one knew where to look. It seemed not to be visible from East Bayard St either. However, the bird clearly likes that bleacher. There's quite a bit of whitewash on it. It's been seen several times there by birders, and also by a security guard who came to investigate us and had seen but not recognized the bird several days earlier. I think if people stay out of that soggy athletic field and stay by the maintenance building and adjacent places where one is allowed to have a car, the bird is likely to return to that bleacher.
