Checklist Comments

After missing last weekend's WPBO outing to the Soo I knew that this weekend would be my only chance this winter to get up the Upper Peninsula to see the Northern Hawk Owls (5-6 birds) and numerous Snowy Owls being reported in the Rudyard-Pickford area. So, I drove up to the condo in Central Lake late Friday night with the idea of heading across the Mackinac Bridge before dawn on Saturday morning. Lucky for me folks like Jim Patton and Jason Bojczyk had just posted their sightings from the 22nd, so I had a good chance of seeing at least one of my target birds on Saturday.
