Today was my only shot, so I didn't bother to look at the weather. It was a
good thing because I probably would have decided against it. It was windy and
rainy, but I did manage to see 3 PINE GROSBEAKS along the Pacific Crest Trail
north of Hwy 20/Hwy 126. A male and female pair were feeding about a mile up
the trail and then there was another bird calling close to the parking lot. I
hiked out east on the Suttle Lake trail (which really heads to Square Lake) and
barely made it into Jefferson County before a PINE GROSBEAK flew over calling.
I pished it out of the sky for a few moments. It perched briefly and then
moved on.
I also stopped at Mt Bachleor and heard a PINE GROSBEAK calling in the distance
over the sound of skiers and ravens.
I stopped to push my luck at the Klamath/Douglas County line, but it was very,
very quiet.
