Hi All, I headed up to Santiam Pass with Roy Gerig today, hoping to refind the Pine Grosbeaks reported yesterday, but all we found was one robin and one raven. It was cool and windy. It was quite different than usual to be in that area in mid February and have no snow on the ground. Looks like Hoodoo Butt ski area was closed. One has to wonder what kind of fire season we may be in for this summer.......................... Bill Tice: Birding - The best excuse for getting outdoors, and avoiding chores.
