Hi Folks,
The class field trip was postponed from last week to 9 Feb. Of
course it snowed, made roads slippery and we turned around to get home
earlier than intended. But ... .
We go two Snowy Owls, one along Rt 34 just north of Lane Rd and
about 1 mile south of Genoa on a fence post to the southeast of the farm
buildings , and the other at the very large dairy farm on Indian Field
Rd and partially surrounded by Saxton Rd. on a building roof on the east
side of Indian Field Rd. At this location we say ~50 Horned Lark, ~6
Snow Buntings, and 2-3 Laplad Longspur in driveway where the earth had
been scraped bare by a plow blade.
Not the best field trip with two cars and snow and wind, but good
enough to thrill the students. Thanks.
I am a jinx. I have been blanked on Short-eared Owls all year.
Yesterday we were at the Lake Winery for an hour from 3:30 to 4:30 with
no owls detected, although snow and wind made watching difficult. I've
gone on three raptor surveys at Montezuma and a trip to Amherst Island
without getting any short-ears. Warning, do not ever go on a trip with
me to find short-ears.
thanks for help wit the field trip,
John
