Ann Mitchell I went up the east side of Cayuga Lake in the afternoon, as did several others. Although we missed the Aurora Eared Grebe in the sun glare (we only saw a HORNED GREBE there), we saw an impressive display of at least 4 SHORT-EARED OWLS near NYS-90 and the fields at the top of Lake Rd
This morning at 7:20, i counted 100+ crows flying southeast over Hudson St.
on South Hill-- oriented toward Six Mile Creek. Five minutes later there
was another group of about 150 that was flying more or less due east above
the intersection of State St and Mitchell St (lower Collegetown). I was
This morning Brad and I looked for the Snowy Owl that was seen late
yesterday around Ed Hill Road and Fall Creek Road in the Freeville area,
but without success. It was snowing very hard most of the time, however,
