Hi Tweets,

Barb and I got out for a short day of birding around Moses Lake. We were
able to locate up to 4 COMMON REDPOLL with a small flock of American
Goldfinch. The redpolls were located along Road K .5 SE (see Delorme Pg. 53
at the very top about 6.5). Also present were at least 3 American Tree
Sparrow and 1 Lincoln's Sparrow at the same location. The birds are feeding
in a habitat food plot planted behind the row of brush along the road.
We also birded the Potholes State Park where we located 2 lingering
Orange-crowned Warblers among the much more common winter residents.
Also observed was a Merlin hunting along Road 6 SE (same Delorme as the
redpolls).

Cheers
