[mou-net] Spruce Grouse, Lake County

[Steve Wilson]

Yesterday three spruce grouse (one, unfortunately a car-kill) were found in the 
traditional area along Lake County Hwy 2, in this case, 2.1 miles north of the 
Sand River crossing. This is in the Greenwood Burn, which means at least some 
birds survived as the fire swept through there in August. What remains to be 
seen is whether they will survive and reproduce long term in their 
highly-altered habitat.

Sunday Nov 21

Stoney River Forest Road is not plowed and I saw very little sign of  
pending logging activity that would require plowing. It was fine but  
Whyte Road was dicey...and more snow expected.


Common Redpolls were common...over 130 in about 8 flocks

Also at this spot were fly over WwCrossbills, Pine Grosbeaks, redpolls
