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 owls we saw several species of Haws (Northern Harrier , Red Tailed and Rough-legged Hawk).
