Mary Jean and I drove along Hall Rd and Wycoff Rd this evening about 4:30pm hoping to get another look at the short-eared owls that she saw yesterday. We were disappointed that we did not see them, though we may have been a bit early. We were, though, treated to a SNOWY OWL on Wycoff Rd, near Co Rd 129. The owl was perched at the top of a rather tall Norway spruce in a cluster of Norway spruce trees in the farmstead yard at the south east corner of the Wycoff and Co Rd 129 intersection. We spotted it from a distance and we approached it slowly in our car and it did not fly even when we were just below it parked in front of the house. We were on our way to Geneva so were not able to stay longer, but it remained in that tree while we were there. Hopefully it will be there tomorrow as well.
