Yesterday was a glorious day as far temperatures were concerned.  Not so sure I 
liked all the melting.  David Lambeth joined me to do a little birding in St. 
Louis and Lake counties.  What great places to spend some time.  Wonderful birds 
and people.

Great Gray Owl 1  lifer
Bohemian Waxwing ~200 in Meadowlands
Ruffed Grouse 4  (all singles)
Black-billed Magpie 2 (separate locations)
Common Redpolls (good numbers in several locations)
and the other usual suspects.
 Hwy 2 north of FR11 (2/17)
Spruce Grouse m.  1  lifer--north of Sand River about 2 miles (running down the 
road and blending in pretty well with the blacktop)

 Ely  2/17

 Winton 2/17   very birdy little town
