On the way home from Moses Lake (where we failed to spot the Snowy Owls),
we spotted a bunch (6-10) of sharp-tailed grouse. They were right along
the road (Highway 23) just south (east?) of St. John. This is the first
time we've ever seen the little rascals so clearly and in such numbers.

Also, we saw snow buntings along Highway 90 between Moses Lake and Sprague.
