Hi Folks,
The owl was not found this morning at 5722 Millersburg Rd., Gambier.
The gentleman who owns the house said it has been hanging around the area and was perched on the fence behind his house as recently as yesterday morning. Unfortunately his horses were out this morning so no owl was present.
If we're still expected to get the next round of rain and snow they've been predicting for the weekend I don't know if the bird will remain in the area or not.
Thanks,
Casey

> This morning I followed up on Jim's report of a Snowy Owl near Utica. I started on Bell Church Rd. and then drove a number of the connecting roads in the area, but had no luck. It's a big expanse to search, and there are a lot of good fields that would seem to be ideal spots for an owl to hide out in.

Given the proximity to Bell Church Rd., and the over-lapping dates, I think there is a good possibility that it's the same bird that was reported from Bell Church Rd. He's supposed to give me a call later this evening with his address, and I'll go check it out and see if I can confirm the report early tomorrow morning and let everyone know.

> > Just got off the phone with the person who found the Licking County Snowy Owl. She was very nice about sharing the details. It was seen at 8 am on December 9th, sitting atop the mail box at 20654 Bell Church Road. This is about a mile or so east of State Rte. 62 on the east side of Utica, in Licking County. The bird has not been seen again, but who knows, there are lots of fields in that area...
