The trails were muddy and slick and the lake is still frozen, but we still managed to see some nice birds including a long-eared owl and two northern shrikes. Robins and dark-eyed juncos were abundant. 16 canada geese and 3 common mergansers flew over the lake, hoping for some open water. An American kestrel and a red-tailed hawk were the only raptors we could find. Townsend's solitaires and Bewick's wrens were singing - enjoying the 50 degree weather I'm sure. It was a good practice run for the Christmas Bird Count on Saturday. Ginger
