Were you hoping for the appearance of another snowy owl in Rockland County, like the one that showed up last year?
If so, look to the Rockland Aububon Society’s latest newsletter for an explanation of your disappointment
. Something about “very poor site fidelity.” Might be a sequel for John Cusack . . .
Anyway, the photos by TJN photographer Vincent DiSalvio show last winter’s visitor over in Piermont.
Here’s a story from December about some snowy owls given to the Green Chimneys School in Patterson and video, too.
