I just spoke with Jeff Nadler who has spoken with the home owner. The owl was
only seen for a few minutes on Saturday and not seen since. If it returns, the
owners will pass that along.
There are way too many places for it to hide and with deep snow, the searching
will be that much harder. That being said, I'm sure some locals will do some
searching in the next day or so. One potential spot is the McGregor Golf
Course. But as Jeff pointed out, the area from Wilton to pratically Glens
Falls is just stand after stand of White Pines.
If anything changes, I'll be sure to pass it along.
Good Birding!

Subject: [HMBirds] Boreal Owl - Saratoga County
A report was made this weekend February 7, (with photographs) of a BOREAL OWL
in a backyard (sitting on a feeder!) in Gansevoort, Saratoga County.
The person who made the e-bird report was not the home owners. There are
efforts being made on multiple fronts to get more details on this bird to see
a) if the bird is still present and b) if the owners are willing to have
visitors.
I know a lot of people are interested in this bird (I'm one of them!), but lets
please be patient as we try and get the OK for people to chase.
This is perhaps the 2nd Region 8 record and the 2nd Saratoga County record, the
last being also about this time in February in the late 1970's!
Good Birding!
