Feb. l3th Eastern Wash. has Snowy Owls too! Maybe I should say
North-Central Wash. East of Mansfield today we saw 2 Snowies and
over l,000 Snow Buntings. We were at the intersection of l4 and O streets
approx. l mile from Simms Corner, which is East of Mansfield. All were
within a 1/4mile stretch. On one side of road is a house with a yellow
airplane. On other side of road are several grain silos. Before we
returned
to Bridgeport we also saw : Golden Eagle, Harrier, Rough-legged Hawk,
Red-tailed Hawk, Ravens, Horned Larks, Gray Partridge, Red-winged
Blackbird and Magpies. Missed the Yellow-headed Blackbird reported
on edge of town. Next: Say's Phoebe and maybe spring will be here.
Got 5-6 in. new snow last Tues., still LOTS on ground, but roads are good.
