I thought I would take a look in the Isabella Area this morning to look for winter bird activity. Mostly saw birds picking grit from the roads.
Whyte Road - a mixed group of pine grosbeaks and white-winged crossbills Stoney River Forest Road - two groups of common redpolls (100+ in each) Hwy 2 - group of about 30 common goldfinches Other birds seen included boreal chickadees ( Whyte Road), common ravens, a northern hawk owl (Stoney River Forest Road - 1 mile north of the Whyte Road intersection) and common goldeneyes (Birch Lake Dam on Hwy 1). There is very little snow on these gravel roads in Isabella at this point. Oh by the way I saw two moose on the Stoney River Forest Road.
