Re: [nysbirds-l] Roaming Orange County
Today, I went to Mission land Road looking for the Snowy Owl but it was not there. On the hand, we had two Snowy Owls in the same area. One was perching near the entrance to Warren Sod Farm (Route 12, Orange County) the other was in the area of Skinner Lane (Pine Island). In addition to the owls we saw several species of Haws (Northern Harrier , Red Tailed and Rough-legged Hawk).

[nysbirds-l] Roaming Orange County
This afternoon Bruce Nott and I joined together and did some roaming in the black dirt area near Pine Island and without any target area or birds we had a very pleasant variety. On Indiana Road we had 5 Rough-legged Hawks, 4 Red-tails and three Harriers. On Skinner Lane we ran into a few small flocks of Horned Lark and then a larger group in which we found Snow Buntings and Lapland Longspurs as well. On Missionland it was a pleasant surprise to spot a SNOWY OWL sitting on top of a telephone pole at Carnation while at DeBuck's Sod Farm we had a screaming adult Peregrine Falcon make a mid-air snatch and then feed atop a telephone pole. A fun afternoon with gifts found only in winter.
