Hello All,

Today amid constant falling snow MerryLynn and I drove north in search of
several target birds. Birds of note that we did locate were....

Northern Saw-whet Owl......1 ad. at Fish Hook Park
Great Horned Owl................4 birds-2 at Fish Hook Park, 1 at Ivy
Cemetery,1 along SR 261.
Eurasian collard Dove............39 birds-12 in Touchet, 26 in Washtucna, 1
in Prescott.
Am. Tree Sparrow.................4 birds along Lyons Ferry Rd.
Rough-legged Hawk...............3 birds along Lyons Ferry Rd.
Ferruginous Hawk...................1 ad. came into roost in Washtucna at
4:35 PM (between D St. and Main St.). First time we have seen this species
roosting in a town.
Wild Turkey............................48 birds-12 in Washtucna, 36 near
Prescott
Merlin......................................1 ad. in Prescott, Walla Walla
Co.

It snowed the whole day we were in the field. It was fair birding with no WW
Crossbills in sight anywhere.
Later Mike
