[cayugabirds-l] Sorry! 4 snowys probably short eareds
After getting home and looking at my books I think those owls we saw earlier were probably 2 pair of short eareds. Buffy patches, darker faces and harrier like behavior were seen. Clear white under wing was absent. Sorry! I will wait to get home to post from now on. We have never seen either in the wild so we are still happy :-) Need to fix Birdseye now...

[cayugabirds-l] 4 Snowy Owls Lake Rd fields
3:45 4 SNOWY OWLS Seen in the fields on either side of Lake rd by the south entrance to Long Point. Seemed to be two pairs playing around in the fields. Swooping and diving with each other, calling, and being harassed by a CROW for a bit. One pair on one each side of the road. One lighter and one darker in each pair. Glorious and majestic! What a nice gift.

[cayugabirds-l] Carolina wren
As I was sweeping a path to and around the feeders this beautifully snowy Christmas dawning, the only sound to be heard was the soft "caroling" of 'tea kettle, tea kettle, tea kettle' over and over again. Then a Crow and a Tree Sparrow added their part. Merry Christmas everyone!
