Snowy Owl

Even though the weather took a blustery turn, Joan and I decided to go for the Snowy Owls that have been sighted in Montezuma.

After crossing the bridge over the Seneca River just passed the Potato House Joan spotted a Snowy Owl perched on a telephone pole on the north side of Rte. 31. Since other birders were parked along the highway and causing what appeared to be a traffic hazard. We pulled into the Potato House parking lot and took a photo.

We drove through Savannah and around the areas adjacent to Spring Lake Road. On Van Spoor Road we visited with two other birders who pointed out several juvenile eagles atop of the muskrat mounds.

Heading home we notice a Snowy Owl on the roof top of the building on the south side of Rte. 31. We parked behind another birder.

Here we get a close-up look at the Snowy Owl.
