"13 NE" should have read "L NE", and this paragraph should have followed the
one about the tree sparrows at the corner of "L NE" and "13 NE" Roads, if it
were to make any sense to interested readers. The shrike & swans aren't so
much a big deal as is the habitat if you are noting such things in your
DeLorme.

Sorry. My head has been a bit blurry yesterday. I wonder why :)

Corrected version below:

Tree Sparrow -- Foster Creek WMA; flock of 9 at south end, in the lone willow
and brush, 50 meters north of the culvert over Foster Creek (Dyer Hill Rd).
[No sharp-tailed grouse this time, but I didn't do much more than just scan
tree tops]. Two more tree sparrows were seen 6 miles east, and one mile
south, at the corner of "L NE" and "13 NE" Roads -- excellent brushy spot
worth checking any time you are over in that area. A short-eared owl was in
the grassy field on the west side of the road here, despite heavy wet snow
falling at the time.

A "singing" northern shrike was seen further south along "L NE" Road,
opposite a frozen flooded field containing a flock of 65-70 tundra swans (3-4
mi WNW St. Andrews) -- another 'promising-looking' brushy area worth
checking.
