Hey Grow, yea I saw that on radar, I'm by Rt.31 so few miles south of the lake, kind of in between the stuff to the north and south and I hope it stays that way! Pic is looking out at grass in front this morning.
It"s 20 here in western eastern Niagara County and cold breeze, but no snow on ground! I'm so glad that I don't have to go out and shovel anymore, that's all taken care of by maintenance staff at the apartments I recently moved to. No more straining the fused back or going against my cardiologists order "No shoveling"!
Went on permit day only at Golden Hill State Park this past fall and didn't see 1 bird. There was only 1 shot that morning and that was it. And the birds were released the previous day. I don't know how many were released, but it wasn't many I'm sure of. And I always see a fox running thru there, so they probably got a few of the birds for a snack.
