Just an observation -- I have located SNOWs this winter staying in one area for 1 month or more. They are not being baited (I find that practice disgusting and anyone that does that - I have no words to describe them). I believe the hunting territories that the birds have set up for themselves are a stable source of food, so they don't leave. In past winters I have located SNOWs that stayed for 2-3 months in the same area - usually hunting 1-2 mile circle.
