Winter North Central Trip without the Group

Posted on by

Ken really loves taking the club, previously the class, on our annual freezathon to North Central Washington. For the second straight year Covid made us reluctant to get a big group together for the trip, but Ken, Bruce, Jacob Miller and I managed a 4-day trip last over the MLK weekend (Thursday – Sunday actually) and as usual it was great. Read all about it on the Bird Banter site under Ed’s Birding Notes here.

Here are a couple of photos to tempt you. Snow cover was really heavy, and weather great except for some patchy fog at times.

The old feeder spots seem to have gone, only one was still present and few birds were there. These 120 Gray-crowned Rosy Finches on Mary Ann Creek Rd were even better against snowy fields background and actively flying around.

Good birding. Ed
