Ornithology BI 347 Class

This report is the start of the Ornithology BI 347 class sightings for 2014.  It was a brutal start that began with rain at Salisbury and a snow storm while were leaving Parker River NWR.  However, the birding was excellent.  Our first 2 species were a Snowy Owl and Peregrine Falcon.
