[nysbirds-l] Snow in June
This afternoon while returning home from Rhinebeck in Dutchess County, with my Wife and Daughter, I stopped at Hopeland Trails on Old Post Rd., Staatsburg, NY to check on the Chat reported by John Askildsen weeks ago. After about five minutes of listening, we were able to hear the bird calling from East of the parking lot. We continued south and crossed the Hudson into Ulster County. We then chose an odd path home by cutting through the property of the Shawangunk and Wallkill Correctional facilities, just to the East of the Shawangunk Grasslands. To our great surprise, at 7:45PM, we stumbled upon a VERY white SNOWY OWL on the prison grounds. My father, Ken McDermott was close by and was able to share in the sighting. Can't say I have ever had both species in the same day and have certainly never been wearing shorts before while looking at a Snowy Owl. You just never know!!

Correction (with apologies and profuse thanks)this afternoon the bird was found by Mike Zebehazy. Many thanks also to the others who helped me get on the bird, to Jay McGowan for initially discovering the bird and getting the word out, and to all who posted updates and kept me jealous enough to inspire me to make the 4-hour drive there & back today.
