Re: SPAM-LOW: RE: [cayugabirds-l] Clear cutting under powerlines

[ra...@minetor.com]

I just added my voice to this on the NYSEG page — it looks like I was the third 
to do so.  I’ll also tweet about this using @NYSEandG and #SaveTheBirds.

[cayugabirds-l] Snowy owl continues at Goose Haven

[ra...@minetor.com]

At 2:55 pm, the Snowy Owl is sitting on top of a black trailer down the private 
road from Goose Haven, on route 89 across from Schoolhouse Road. We asked 
permission to walk down the dirt road a bit for photos, and the gentlemen 
inside said it was fine to go in as far as the first ditch (it’s really muddy 
beyond that). The bird was very accommodating.
