I was wondering who's tracks I followed. The same mix of winter field birds were on Cornell Lane in Dryden with viewing somewhat easier. There was also a nice flock of Turkey's (21) and a dark phase Rough-legged Hawk. Gary On Jan 5, 2014, at 1:39 PM, Susan Fast

Late afternoon, I went trolling for owls. I, too, found a dark phase ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK in a tree top along Creamery Rd., outside of Slaterville. Then at the crest of Hart Rd., Town of Dryden, an adult NORTHERN SHRIKE was hunting in the hedgerow there, at 1630h. No owls. Steve Fast
