Did NOT locate the Snowy today. The area where I saw him last is a lot rougher terrain but so It is probably just down over a hill a bit--anyway I checked in mid-aft. Clear to Greensburg (town just north of Baring). Will try again tomorrow. We still have a lot of snow cover here plus the temperature is really a bit chilly. More like our usual North MO weather. Just 10 miles south there is No snow. Thanks to all for writing to me and Mo-birds about Red-tailed hawks. We have seen the hawks perched on each fence-post in south Mo. Really awesome. The partial albino that Jean wrote about seems to apply to the bird I saw. I do like to take the easiest way out-If one could count all those red-tailed as separate birds we all might work harder at identifying them . Think I will do that this year. Have a sub-list. Heaven forbid this hobby turn into an Education! Thanks again.
