<div id="AOLMsgPart_2_86fd95cb-81d8-4d45-90ab-a755144e47ff"> Sean Sime, Joe DiCostanzo, and I looked for the Willow Ptarmigan on Point Peninsula for a little over an hour this morning, starting a few minutes after dawn, but we were not able to find it.
Yesterday evening it was in a tree at these coordinates: 43.961438,-76.273077 There is a large stretch of shoreline stretching to the SW and around the point that is not publicly accessible, so this does not mean that the bird is gone from the area.</div><div id="AOLMsgPart_2_86fd95cb-81d8-4d45-90ab-a755144e47ff"> </div><div id="AOLMsgPart_2_86fd95cb-81d8-4d45-90ab-a755144e47ff">Last night there was a Snowy Owl in the immediate vicinity of the Ptarmigan, and it was still nearby (atop the big silo) this morning.</div><div id="AOLMsgPart_2_86fd95cb-81d8-4d45-90ab-a755144e47ff"> </div><div id="AOLMsgPart_2_86fd95cb-81d8-4d45-90ab-a755144e47ff">Also of note for us were several Wilson's Snipe doing their whinnying flight displays around some roadside wetlands on the way in on 57.</div><div id="AOLMsgPart_2_86fd95cb-81d8-4d45-90ab-a755144e47ff"> </div><div id="AOLMsgPart_2_86fd95cb-81d8-4d45-90ab-a755144e47ff">-Doug Gochfeld.
