Tweeters,

Hope your Christmas gifts were as great as ours. We were successful with
finding one of the Snowy Owls at Big Ditch near Stanwood. Watched it for a
little over an hour from 12:10 TO 1:15 PM before we left to find the
Gyrfalcon. The Snowy was way up the dike from the gate on a pole that looks
like an old pier piling.

We had the Snohomish Gyrfalcon from 3:15 to 3:45 in the southern tree in the
large empty field, then had it in the larger northern tree around 4:20PM when
we past by again. A mile after the sign saying leaving Snohomish on Lincoln
going out of town.

Made the twenty hours of driving from L.A., since Saturday evening seem
rather short.

Great birding and find that next lifer,

John (One of Birders2)
John + Irma = 2, we are birders, too.
