Pam and I saw 12 PINE GROSBEAKS on the PCT going north at Santiam Pass today. The first 4 were just beyond two snags that were over the trail. The next 8 were up about four minutes walk beyond the sign saying "Mt Jefferson Wilderness/ Deschutes National Forest.” All the birds were on the left side of the trail. We were there from about 11 AM to 1 PM. Checked out Lost Lake afterwards but nothing much around except a few Canada Geese. Thanks to ECAS and all for reporting them and luring us to the beautiful Pacific Crest Trail. I felt a little bit “Wild” up there when I missed ID looks at the first 4 birds but settled down when the next group were easily seen. Muy tranquillo after that...
