Saturday Ken Knittle and I went to Cooper Mtn to watch for migrating hawks.
Although we did not see the BROAD-WINGED HAWK we were looking for, we were
by no means skunked. Ken's 9/16 message has the detail.

At 4PM Ken left for the Wenatchee River and I headed for Hart's Pass.
Saturday night at 9:30PM I had a BOREAL OWL behind camp site #1 at Meadows
Campground. The bird was very vocal at close range and allowed very close
views with a spotlight in one hand and binoculars in the other.

The next day (Sunday) I dipped on SPRUCE GROUSE and WHITE-TAILED PTARMIGAN
in the Hart's Pass area, so I headed for the area around Tiffany Lake to
look for SPRUCE GROUSE. I had no luck all day today (Monday) until I
received a tip from 2 hikers who described a SPGR they had seen to me, even
though they had no idea what it was. I found the SPRUCE GROUSE at 2:30PM, a
beautiful male, about a mile up Bernhardt Trail, just south of Roger Lake,
on FR 39 in Okanogan County.

Also on FR39 between the 30 mile shelter to the north and Roger Lake to the
south I had WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILL, BLUE GROUSE, BOREAL CHICKADEE, and
THREE-TOED WOODPECKER.
