It was rainy and cold early, but that didn't deter 15 hardy souls from going out to look for raptors. We covered the usual roads - Frog Hollow, Fredrickson, Stateline, Sandpit and Byrnes. Red-tailed hawks were very cooperative - we saw 61 of them. We also saw 17 American kestrels, 9 northern harriers, one rough-legged hawk, one sharp-shinned hawk and one prairie falcon. Owls were harder to find than usual, but we did see two great horned owls.
It was a good trip and nice to have four Walla Walla University students along. Ginger
