Meredith and Dave Spencer



On Sun., Feb. l5th Rick Hendrick saw a white-phase Gyrfalcon at Atkins =
Lake. So, today Susan Crampton and I went with Rick to try and find it =
again. (Others who came from Wenatchee and met us at the lake were Dan =
Stephens, Patty ?? and Harold Osgood.) We did not find the white Gyr, =
BUT in less than 3 hours, from Bridgeport to Atkins we saw the =
following: Kestrel, Merlin, Rough-legged Hawk, Long-eared Owls, Prairie =
Falcon, Golden Eagle, N. Harrier, and a Gyrfalcon. (Later in the day we =
added Bald Eagle and Red-tailed Hawk.) The Gyr was at midway pond and =
repeatedly dived on a Canada Goose, then set on a nearby power pole for =
some great views. Other highlights at Northrup Canyon inc. Brown =
Creeper, Red-breased Nuthtch, Black-capped Chickadee, Golden-crowned =
Kinglet, and 2 (F) Red Crossbills. All in all, a great birding day! =
