Greetings! I just got a Facebook post from a reliable source, that there is a Snowy Owl over at Indian Lake somewhere...I begged him to give me a clue where it is, but I probably won't hear from him till later tonight. So if you are over that way, keep an eye out and please post. :-D There has been a sizeable flock of starlings and RWBB circling around the fields here in LaRue. There may be others in the mix, but like everyone else, there are just so many of them to nail down anything concrete. Raptors, other than Kestrels, have been in short supply over at Big Island...I feel it has something to do with all of the water throwing off the food supply for the area. And as I am for a change working the entire week this week (usually I have it off), I wanted to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year full of Lifers!
