Hey birders,

It has been a difficult winter so far for me as I've scoured the county looking for Snowies.  Today was my fifth attempt to survey promising habitat this winter and I finally found a subadult male Snowy Owl about 1.5 miles east of Hwy 22 on County Road 16.  The bird was seen at 6:00pm Sunday evening.  At this location, there is a large conservation easement on the south side of the road.  The bird was perched on a utility pole in the vicinity on the north side.

Kestrels are increasing; eagles are migrating.  Spring is coming!

Happy birding!
