flygirl 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 With recent sightings of Snowy Owls in my area, spent the day searching with no luck....but I did come across a nice flock of Snow Buntings & a Northern Harrier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AK FlyBum 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2012 What state you from flygirl? Have been reading about the mass migration of the snowy owls and curious where folks are seeing them. Nice pics you posted. I used to see a lot of Harriers when I lived in New Mexico. Now that I'm in Alaska, Bald Eagles have replaced the Harriers. Again, nice pics.

flygirl 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks I'm from Ct.......The Snowy Owls have been seen here in Ct., R.I., & N.J......I just haven't had any luck in seeing them. They haven't been around for the past couple of weeks, temps have been in the 40's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AK FlyBum 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2012 I hear they've been seeing them as far south as Oklahoma and Missouri... bet the local birdwatchers are having a field day with that. I miss my time cruising the wildlife sanctuaries in NM but here everywhere you go is like a sanctuary. Was coming home from Wasilla, AK on Tuesday and there's a state refuge on the way back and there must have been 30 moose feeding out there. No place to pull over and take pictures of course, but still great to see them. Sometimes our governments can be so frustrating... hey, let's create a huge preserve to protect the animals so everyone can come enjoy them, then not put any pull-outs or parking lots in. Politicians!!! Tight lines! AK FlyBum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

southpaw designs 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2012 Nice pics too! We even had roadrunners show up after Katrina but for some reason they won stand still for photos (Have y'all ever tried to put salt on one of THOSE tails!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
