Forgot to mention that on the way back from Freeville, we swung down to come across on Snyder Rd: no Snowy Owl, several other birders in quest of one, but I spotted and photographed a drift of at least 46 SNOW BUNTINGs almost at the intersection of Snyder and Warren foraging in the gravel edge of Snyder. (I counted 46 in one photo but there were probably a few more.) There were no obvious Longspurs or Larks in this flock.
