}lTweets, I would be willing to help on a Okanogan Highlands Boreal Owl trip
towards the end of Sept or early Oct (the juvenile owls get vociferous and
responsive in the fall). But I'd prefer to aim for a "Natural History
Excursion" to these fabulous mountains with the idea of hiking and poking about
the various habitats in these highlands. Lyall's larch, rhododendrons, granite
precipices, boreal fens, the Thunder Mtn. burn, Tiffany Mtn., White-winged
Crossbills, snowshoe hares, possibly Spruce Grouse, migrating hawks, the "tiny
things" at one's feet (mosses and lichens), will all be featured...plus...maybe
an owl! It would be a 2-night trip, car camping in the Tiffany Springs area,
with day-time hikes, night owling, if the weather cooperates. I'd love to share
this piece of Washington. If anyones interested, drop me a message and I'll try
to get something going here.
