11/26/03 Spent part of the day birding in Meeker County with Debbie Arnold. While we did not encounter anything rare, we did find a late Western Grebe and several Northern Shrikes. Here are some of the species observed: @ Western Grebe - Lake Minnie Belle, best observed from the NW corner of the lake @ Tundra Swan - was fun to observe 4 tundra Swans sitting on the ice in the middle of Lake Jennie @ Northern Shrike - Two birds were present at the Kalkenbrenner Slough, several miles North of Litchfield. @ Snow Bunting - observed several small flocks @ Rusty Blackbird - One bird was observed at the Kalkenbrenner Slough and another was observed at a feeding station at the intersection of CR 15 & CR 6.
