Hello Paul Anderson, From the Saturday article in the Ithaca Journal, I found your email address as the president of cayugabirdclub.org <http://cayugabirdclub.org>. I am not sure if this is useful or not, but considering the recent article, thought I should contact you all. Tonight, Jan 5 at about 8:25pm I spotted a snowy owl while heading east along Perry City. We turned onto Perry City from the 227/228 intersection and saw the snowy owl before the intersection with what I think is Waterburg. (After the citing, we passed two streets I was unable to read and then I saw Inge Johnson LMT on the GPS as the first definite landmark.) I saw something move on the north side of the road aways ahead. It flew from the ground to the south side of the road and then up into the air. With its massive wing span in full view, I exclaimed, "It's a snowy owl!" and it led us from in front of the passenger side. I opened the window and started laughing and calling out, "You're amazing! Thank you so much!" It then dropped back a bit, flying over the car. Then it flew in front of us on the driver side, leading us for quite a stretch, while I continued to laugh and announce thanks, before it dropped over the car and then out of view. Again, I hope this is useful. If i should not relay this information to you, or if you know who I should contact instead, please let me know.
