Hi Hal, Thank you for telling me about this spot. Vicki and i will stay
overnight in Brewster, there we had large flocks of Bohemian Waxwing and
higher up Common Redpoll, also in the Canyon where we was sleeping, looking
for Owls, we had 5 Northern Saw-whet Owls. We also found a private place
to finda Lek of Sage Grouse. It's fantastic birding.Thanks!!!
Ruth
