I found the Snowy on Martin Rd. today. I called the number for the Lott Farm and got no response. It may be because of the holidays. I also found the Snowy on Aunst Rd. on top of the gas well and another on 96a , again on a gas well. They were great for viewing,but too distant for photographing. I found an immature Bald Eagle on the channel tree on Armitage Rd. I couldn't find the Snowy in the Mucklands.
