Hello All,

The Feb.6, 2010 WOS Owls by Day Fieldtrip started off at Hood Park at 7:45
AM with 18 of us. Our first owls were a pair of Barn Owls along Dodd Rd.
things only got better from there as we birded under gray cloudy overcast
skies. By noon it was clearing and the whole afternoon was clear warm and
windless. Birds of note seen on this WOS Fieldtrip are as follows:
Barn Owl......................6 birds
Great Horned Owl........6 birds
Long-eared Owls..........4 birds
N. Saw-whet Owl.........1 bird

Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch.......10 birds
Am.Tree Sparrow.....................1 bird
Golden Eagle.............................1 ad.
Bald Eagles................................18 birds
Great Blue Heron........................19 in one flock
Am.White Pelican........................23 birds
Merlin.........................................2 birds
Prairie Falcon..............................1 bird
Canyon Wren.............................1 bird

This was a great trip. It was fun to be out birding with such a group of
knowledgeable folks. Enjoyed leading this one very much.
