Julie and I started our birding day at White's Valley on
Sunday. The area was full of Western Meadowlarks, Mourning Doves and
Loggerhead Shrikes. We got terrific looks at a Prairie
Falcon, Short-eared Owl, Northern Harriers and Sharp-tailed Grouse.
Our next stop was BRMBR where we saw many of the birds that
Bridget reported on her count last week. The sheer numbers were
impressive! We enjoyed seeing so many Snowy Egrets along with two Great
Egrets. We were rewarded by using our scopes to sift through the
Dowitchers as Julie picked out a Red Knot among them!
