While helping with the Sherburne NWR Christmas Bird Count this morning,
my brother Vic and I found a Northern Goshawk near Santiago. From
Santiago, go north on CR11 about =BE mile, turn left(west) onto 12th St.
SE. In about a half mile, the road turns south, and shortly after that,
turns west again. The Goshawk was seen in the area between the two
turns.

This afternoon I found at least 2 Bohemian Waxwings among a large flock
(100 birds?) of Cedar Waxwings in Benton County. I found these in the
same spot I located a Bohemian Waxwing about a month ago. I also had a
brief look at a very interesting waxwing with large white blotches on
its head and back, presumably a partial albino.

The Waxwings were about 1.8 miles south of Rice on CR55. CR55 runs
right along the west side of the railroad tracks in Rice. As I
mentioned last time, there is a half-mile stretch of juniper trees
lining the road where the waxwings were, so there is lots of food to
keep them around.
