This past weekend I birded around the county and found a few
interesting things:
-- 2 Northern Hawk Owls ( at the sight on C.R.56, 2 miles east of
hwy 169 and at the sight one half mile south of Palisade on C.R.5, on
the top of a spruce on the west side of the road)
-- 4 Snowy Owls ( first one on C.R.1, just past the junction with
C.R.22, sitting on the roof of the shed at the junction:; second on
C.R.1, in the field on the west side of the road just over the diversion
channel; the final two birds were along 310th ave off of 450th St, south
of Palisade)
-- 2 Great Horned Owls ( one on C.R.1 and the other on C.R.22)
-- 400 plus Snow Buntings (seem to be everywhere)
-- Black-billed Magpies ( on 450th St., 3 miles west of C.R.5,
south of Palisade)
-- 4 Rough-legged Hawk
-- 3 Bald eagles
-- Dozens of Pine Grosbeaks
-- a Northern Goshawk on C.R.1
-- Evening Grosbeaks, Redpolls, Horned Larks, Ravens
