Birded Douglas County yesterday and this morning (Sat). Had 29 species
all told, including: a Brown Creeper; a Red-breasted Nuthatch; 3 Northern
Shrikes; four flocks of Snow Buntings, 55, 65, 80, 90; a small flock of C.
Redpolls feeding in some Tamaracks and another small flock flying over; 1
Pine Siskin at a feeder; 1 Purple Finch at a feeder; and 10 White-winged
Crossbills at a cemetary just W of Alexandria. Most interesting was this AM
as I was walking out to my car from the cabin. Six Blackbirds flew out of my
corn food plot up into some Aspen along the field road. I looked at them
expecting Rustys but they turned out to be Red-Wings, presumably
overwintering.
