[Tweeters] Okanogan Highlands Scout Trip 1/21/2024

[Shep Thorp]

Hi Tweets,
Day three of our scout trip was nice despite cloudy and snowy conditions. Fancher Road had plenty of Chukar with the snow and on the flats we bumped into a flock of 100+ Common Redpolls. Siwash Creek was good for Sharp-tailed Grouse, Northern Pygmy Owl, and all the usual highlands birds. Nealy Road Feeder, Highlands Meadows, was great for photographing Mountain Chickadee.  On Bartoff/Meyers Road we found a small flock of Pine Grosbeaks foraging buds from a Larch Tree.  Mary Ann Creek was slow but fantastic looks of Ruffed Grouse. 
Happy Birding,
Shep
