This morning I decided to try my luck at Belmont Lake State Park, looking for
either Cackling or Barnacle goose. After searching very hard through the geese
I could not produce either species. Best duck though were two Common
Mergansers. I did see my first of year Golden-crowned Kinglet.
I spotted one Red-headed Woodpecker from the wood chip path on the right
(east) side of the Turtle Cove driving range about 200 yards (thanks yard
markers) from the clubhouse area at approximately 4 p.m. todayMartin

This afternoon my wife and I found a Snowy Owl @ Smith's point. No other

This afternoon, having been told that the Snowy Owl was still being seen at the old Warren Sod Farm(I have NO idea in the world what it is now called) off Lower Road in the black dirt area of Orange County, I took a quick trip out there to enjoy the bird again and also to wallow in the ability to

Today, I went to Mission land Road looking for the Snowy Owl but it was not
there. On the hand, we had two Snowy Owls in the same area. One was perching
near the entrance to Warren Sod Farm (Route 12, Orange County) the other was in
the area of Skinner Lane (Pine Island). In addition to the
Northern shrike - in the trees, east of the cement wall, at the corner of Old
Town Rd and Gin Lane. Just south of Old Town Pond.
The bird was first seen near the south east end of the pond.
