Large snowflakes driven by south winds somewhat hampered visibility
across the north end of Seneca County this afternoon. Around 4 pm
single snowy owl was sitting on a hillock close to the bend in the
driveway of the Finger Lakes Airport. (We also checked Chadwick and
Thorpe, but not Farron Road.) Tens of thousands of snow geese -
probably hundreds of thousands but I can't estimate when the numbers get
that high - were spooling & swirling in small and large flocks across
the entire sky at 4:15. Some fields were covered in snow geese, notably
south of Airport Rd in Seneca Falls and off of Ridge Road in Fayette.
