Several mallard ducks come in for a landing Wednesday afternoon to join hundreds of others in a small patch of open water on Pennesseewassee Lake. While most migrate south during the winter, some stay as long as there is an abundant food source. Since they can fly up to 800 miles in a day, it wouldn't take long for them to become true "snowbirds"

Afternoon sun casts shadows on the snow and wall Tuesday afternoon behind a building on Main Street in Lewiston between Park and Middle Streets.

A barred owl with a broken beak takes flight from a branch along Line Road in Greene Friday afternoon. According to Charity Bates who lives on the road, the owl has been in the area for several weeks and is abnormally active during the day. "We are not sure if it's a he or she, but we've named it Esther. She's quite a local celebrety as people stop every day to take photos and the schoolbus even slows down so the kids can take a look at her when they drive past." said Bates.
