Thank you, to those who sent and relayed posts about the Snowy Owl in Northfield. The timely, specific directions made it possible to enjoy a very lovely and cooperative bird, this mid-afternoon. It was perched and basking at the top of a large spruce, right on the south side of 19 where it intersects with CR 59. (If it helps anyone, this is east of Northfield.) The Snow Bunting flock had apparently quit harassing it; they had blown past us on 19 before we reached the owl. We also searched for the flock of 10 or so Hungarian Partridge which had just been seen in Randolph Industrial Park. We found their tracks, but not the birds. A flock spotted up toward Lewiston, proved to be Horned Larks.
