Given the strong west winds I expected the dunes to be full of Short-eared Owls this morning but alas I could only muster one. Other birds seen or heard at Montrose this a.m. include:<\/p>\n
Wilson’s Snipe – 1 in the western panne
\nAmerican Woodcock – 1 flushed from the Magic Hedge
\nAmerican Pipit – 1 flying over the beach
\nLapland Longspur – 3 in the dunes
\nSnow Bunting – 1 in the dunes
\nRusty Blackbird – 1 in the western panne
\nYellow-rumped Warbler – 1
\nPine Siskin – 1
\nWhite-throated Sparrow – 3
\nFox Sparrow – 1<\/p>\n
