Count me among the birders who searched fruitlessly for the Preble Co. Snowy Owl today. Susan Williams and I were there around noon. We drove up and down the side roads, including New Paris-Gettysburg, Hawley Mills, School Lane, Orangeburg, and Eaton-Gettysburg Rds. We even crossed over I-70 at one point and did a brief search of that area. We did see other birders out making the effort, including one car of women birders we passed multiple times and a couple in a truck who we stopped to speak with (Sorry, didn't get your names.) They were also having no luck. We did see a Cooper's hawk and a flock of Horned Larks. On the drive up and back, we had 9 Red-tailed Hawks and 2 American Kestrels. ~Kathi Hutton Felicity, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
