Itinerary

Guys we finally hit some spots around here that I have been wanting to visit. First we visited Nockamixon State Park/Reservoir  to try for the Icelandic Gulls (no luck), then made our way to Merrill Creek Resevoir to get the snowy owl that has taken up residence there since Nov. 2011. Then on to Green Pond and the Church Road Bird Sanctuary at Green Land Park. Our list included the following: Black Vulture, Turkey Vulture, Snowy Owl, Wild Turkey, Ringneck Duck, Common Merg., Hooded Merg., Coots, Pintails, Gadwalls, Black Duck, a flock of snow geese stretching from one horizon to the other, Gulls (Greater & Lesser B-Back, Ring billed), Canada Geese out the %^&*, Mallards, Belted Kingfisher, Rock Dove, Mourning Dove, Redtail H., Kestril, Mute Swan... Ellis and Henry came along for the ride and had a great time. Ellis loved the Snowy Owl. We arrived home to to find the long awaited Alpen 788 waiting for us! We are real birders now. I have a video of the Snowy Owl to upload once I transfer it from our camera. Happy Birding guys!
