I arrived around 1:00 and searched all over. Finally, around 3:45 I came upon the Snowy on a telephone pole about 7-8 poles north of the intersection of New Design and Mountville Roads, soon joined by 4 or 5 other birding parties. It's a very heavily streaked bird so it blends in with the pole more than you might think. It appears to be confirming the theory that it does not show up there until late afternoon, since I and others had passed that spot a number of times earlier. Good Luck on Saturday.
