Owls by Day Leaders: Mike and MerryLynn Denny
The Feb.6, 2010, WOS Owls by Day field trip 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 field trip 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 Northern Shrike...........................1 bird Rough-legged Hawk....................2 birds
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.
