While my first day with the Missouri group was rain and ice we decided =
to head back up there today. We saw the following birds.
-20 Great Grey Owls along Co. Rd 52 from Hwy. 53 to the Stickney Road.
-Rough Grouse on Co. rd 52 about a mile west of Hwy 53.
-10 Northern Hawk Owls spread out various places in Sax Zim. Most =
numerous along Co. Rd 7.
-Boreal Chickadees along Co. Rd 52 2 miles west of the Stickney Rd. =
Heard another along the Admiral Road.
-Bohemian Waxwings along Co. Rd 229 a mile north of Co. Rd 133 feeding =
on hackberries.
-Snow Buntings along Co. Rd 7 from the Sax Rd to the Zim Rd. Saw =
several flocks and one flock around a 100 birds.
* Stopped at the Meadowlands COOP and the Missouri group bought hooded =
sweatshirts, leather mittens and snacks. The people there are so =
delighted with the boming business. They know me by now and are very =
happy that I bring my business to them. I think so far my groups bought =
several "Meadowlands" pull over hoods and leather mittens from them. =
One of the workers told me they saw a small owl in their back yard. It =
may of been a boreal owl. We did not stop at any feeders and when we =
were out of the cars a few of the residents will pass us and look at us. =
Most of the Missouri people waved and smiled at them and we usually got =
a positive response from them.
I told them about the relationship between the residents and birders =
this year and a woman had a great idea. They think the MOU should bring =
there booth stuff to one of their community events and answer questions. =
Beats knocking on doors. I have no idea what sort of community stuff =
they offer but its a neat idea.
I got a suet feeder and suet fro ma Christmas game we play here at home =
and plan on bringing it to Sax Zim and nail it on a tree along McDavitt =
that has Boreal Chickadees. I will give location of the feeder then if =
your up there you can refill it if it needs more of them square suet =
cakes. There is a risk that some squirrel or Pine Martin may rip it =
down and devour it all but hey it worth a try. Its county land too.
