Mary Jean, Phil and I took a drive up to the Finger Lakes Regional Airport on Airport Rd. (or Martin Rd?) Seneca Falls to look for a snowy owl this afternoon. We felt fortunate to find one along the west side of the runway, quite a distance from the road. We then found a Northern Shrike along Seybolt Rd, in the area with the grown-over ponds, which is just west of Canoga. As we headed toward home along Kings Corners Rd, we found another Snowy Owl in a field on the east side of Kings Corners Rd, just north of Ogden Rd. Kings Corners Road is apparently also known as Fayette Varick Townline Rd. A sizable flock of several thousand Snow Geese was in a field bounded on 3 sides by Rt 414, Peterman Rd and Thrope Road. Along the way this afternoon we also saw several Red Tailed Hawks, Kestrels and on Coopers Hawk.
