Three options (at least): (1) Peter's resource is great because it seems like at least initially, the government will have kits on hand to send out.
(2) But /in addition/_,_ for those who can find at-home tests for sale, anyone with health insurance /also/ can get 8 free tests/month. So if you are a family of 3, your family can get up to 24 tests every month for free. Each insurer will have it's own procedure so you may need to go online to find out if you can just show your card at the pharmacy to get them for free or if you will have to pay upfront and submit a claim to be reimbursed. Right now at-home testing kits are hard to find but in a few weeks that should improve. (3) If you want to be tested and can't find a kit, Tompkins & Cortland County residents still can get free drive through testing by appointment - more info here <https://cayugahealthsystem.org/>. Others also may be able to get free tests by appointment if there is a need (they have symptoms, upcoming medical procedure, etc) or if their insurance or employer has an agreement with CMC - info here <https://cayugahealthsystem.org/criteria/>. You can do any or all of these, choosing one doesn't mean you can't do the others. And Birding Content: 3 snowy owls close by the Martin Rd. pull off yesterday afternoon, and roughly a zillion swans at the ice edge near the south end of Lower Lake Rd (where it meets Rte 89, south of Cayuga Lake SP).
