The grove at Manston Marsh WMA in Wilkin County had a nice flock of White-winged Crossbills. It was hard to tell how many there were as they were in the spruce trees and scattered about the area. I saw 8 at once in a decidous tree, so I'll assume that there were at least twice that many (16+). There were also 3 Common Redpolls with them.
I didn't get any Snowy Owls in Wilkin in either the Manston Marsh or the Rothsay WMA areas. There were a lot of other raptors in the area so I'm a bit surprised there weren't any owls. Raptor totals: Rough-legged Hawk - 16 Northern Harrier - 4 Bald Eagle - 1 American Kestrel - 1 Mark Otnes Fargo ND 701-241-4194 markot...@cableone.net ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
