Made a fast trip birding from Gold Bar to Big Ditch where there was 1 Snowy Owl about 1 mile north of the parking lot on the salt
water side of the ditch. Then drove north to find the Prairie Falcon just north of the west-90 along the road on a telephone pole.
Checked the March Point area. No Snow Buntings, but did see Brant on the west side of the point.

Then south to Discovery Park for the Long-eared Owl, but no Long-eared. The wind was pretty strong the owl had a better tree to
hide in.

On the way home we rechecked the Gyrfalcon spot which wasn't there at sunrise, but was in the top of a large tree out in the middle
of the field on the old Snohomish-Monroe Rd. A very beautiful gyr!
