I sat along a small stream to watch what kind of birds were in the area to come and drink. Nothing much in the way of new arrivals. But I did see a few White Winged Crossbills. I saw them all three days, so they might have a nest in the area. I also found a Great Horned Owl nest. Didn't look like any thing has hatched, but it should be soon. When they do I will post some pictures.
The one thing I watched and was surprised about were the Pine Siskins eating grass. It is a sparrow sized bird that moves in large flocks and feeds mostly on seeds. So I was puzzled when I saw it eating grass in the stream. I looked it up and they sometimes eat grass, not a lot, but on rare occasions.
