The Mountain Plover continues at Crowley Lake - amazing views as the bird pecked at the shoreline with 20 yards of us. Also driving in to the McGee arm, scared up a flock of approximately 200 Rosy-finches. Upon looking for the Rosy-finches we startled a Short-eared Owl nearby. Additionally 5 Bald Eagles (no full adults), and 17 species of waterfowl!
