	American Tree Sparrow by Aaron Boone

Bird list will proceed pictures.


A digi-scoped Belted Kingfisher entertained us by catching a small fish.	Aaron Boone's shot of the Short-eared Owl.


A large group of Tundra Swans and Canada Geese in a pond off of CR 108.	The group scans the fields in search of Horned Larks, Snow Buntings, and Lapland Longspurs.


The group searches for a Red-headed Woodpecker on pond 33.	And we weren't disappointed.


Emily Rich, Auriel Van Der Laar, and Samantha Gates pose for a photo.	Ethan Kistler takes a break as Phil Chaon heads off to search for Saw-whets.


This distant Short-eared Owl in this digi-scoped view was spotted by Jim McCarty. Thanks Jim	Why did the birders cross the road--to search for a Saw-whet Owl, of course.
