Did you make it to Okanogan? I am toying with the idea of heading up this weekend.
Let us know how the birding is

Subject: [Tweeters] Winter - Finally??
Hi Tweeters! - Well, according to the forecast, winter may actually happen this week! I'm excited and heading for the Waterville - Okanogan area on Thursday and wondering if anyone else is heading that way or has been there recently? I'm particularly interested in anyone's recent experience in looking for/finding(!!) usual winter treats there such as Snowy Owl (Atkins Lk area}?, Long-eared Owl, Gyrfalcon, Tree Sparrow, Swamp Sparrow, Bohemian Waxwing, Pine Grosbeak, crossbills, Chukar, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Pygmy Owl, etc. If anyone is going to be over there from Thursday through Monday, let me know <jonbirder...> (mailto:<jonbirder...>) (206) 601-0773 and I'm happy to share info! Happy Birding! - Jon Houghton, Edmonds
