Just found a SNOWY OWL at the Broome County landfill. It was being mobbed by crows as it sat on a power pole. The bird eventually alighted on a smaller post and eventually on the ground. The bird was too distant for decent photos but clearly seen in scope on 70X. The bird was heavily barred so likely it is a first year female. This is the second report of SNOWY OWL in Broome County this year...the first was a couple weeks ago at the airport not far from the landfill. Not sure if it is the same bird...
Let the invasion continue. wow.
