Breakfast, guess where.
 

Driving the roads.
 

We got the Hawk Owl who was very cooperative.

Looking for a Great Gray Owl.
 

And Lunch.
 

Looking for the gyrfalcon.
 

A few Mallards, and a Goldeneye.
 

Judy spotted this guy, not the owl we hoped for but great anyway!
 

Still searching.
 

Hulbert Bog gave us Gray Jays and a Boreal Chickadee.
 

No Crossbills though.
 

Lunch at the formerly called Artic Inn.
 

A Hairy Woodpecker at Betty Maxon's
