December 20, 2008: Nations Road (Livingston County), NY Birding

Today, in between snow storms, we had a clear (but cold) day, we took advantage and went out birding! We went to the Nations Road area in Livingston County near Geneseo, and got some great shots of Short-Eared Owls, and some other photos as well.

A distant flock of Snow Buntings looked like snowflakes!

Some cold looking sheep on a farm on Nations Road-

Below are some nice shots of the Short-Eared Owls there that we got

This Tree Sparrow was alarmed by the owls presence!

Found this Bald Eagle next in Alexander NY on the way home. It was almost dark - we need to stop back during better light!
