Hi,
We are camped out here in Omak (hotel actually), and spent the day
driving around Palmer Lake, and through the Highlands. We did enjoy good
looks an a nice number of Rough Legged Hawks; BUT were unable to locate any
of the birds I come to find every winter. There is hardly any snow. North
of Molson a small flock of what might have been Redpolls flew high and
fast, but I really have no idea, we had out windows up.
It is a huge disappointment to come out here and find so little. I have
not kept up on what is going on with other reports, as most are about the
Snowy Owls.
However, I was delighted to read about the Northern Hawk Owl tonight, so
we will head that way, and let you know what we find.
I also hope we get to spend time on Cameron Lake Road, and a few other
choice places, hoping to make up for today.

I would be interested in finding out if anyone has located any Redpolls, or
Pine Grosbeak and Rosyfinches in the Okanogan area.

Thanks, and happy birding to you all.
