[Tweeters] Okanogan Highlands Scout Trip update: Sun 1/22

[Shep Thorp]

Hi Tweets,

Scott and I scouted the Okanogan Highlands (Tonasket to Chesaw) today.

Fancher Road Butte: Golden Eagle

Siwash Creek: Sharp-tailed Grouse x 4, both Type 2 and Type 4 Red
Crossbills, Pileated Woodpecker and all three nuthatches.

Teas Road at junction with Havillah Road: Bohemian Waxwing x 37 feeding on
red berries in bush next to road (looked like little rose hips).

Hungry Hollow Road and Turner Homestead Road: 50 Snow Bunting in cattle
scrape.

Davies Road: both Red Crossbills and Ruffed Grouse.

Bartoff Road: Ruffed Grouse east of Nealy Road.

Nealy Road Feeder or Highland Meadows Compound: many Dark-eyed Junco at the
feeder at 4pm.

Highland Snow Park: Great Gray Owl heard around 5:15pm.

We did not see or relocate Northern Pygmy Owl, Gray-crowned Rosy-finch,
Common Redpoll, or Pine Grosbeak.  Overall a little slow, but beautiful day
with lots of snow and pretty scenery.

Happy birding,
Shep
