Sighting

All sightings Jan 4 2008 (sorry to be late). The pair of WODU were wandering/feeding with Mallards on the grass W of the city park pond in Bishop at the height of the storm. The gal Hooded was on the pond. Earlier before the storm really took off I was at Fish Slough (1st light) in Mono & saw the LeConte's running around just N of the spring near the foot of the hill and a bit later the nearly maskless but quite gray shrike was SW of the spring nearly to the main road. Probably unusual for the flats was a Stellar's Jay in Chalfant as the storm picked up as well as a male Merlin. Four Waxwings were there w/o good enough looks (briefly & in poor light) to ID.
