Lonetree North Dakota - Priceless!






Trip Participants - Steven & Magdalena Easley and Wayne & Wanda Easley


On the afternoon of May 18 we all visited the Lonetree Wildlife Management Area near the small town of Harvey, ND. The weather was absolutely wonderful and we were able to find several very nice birds. My stunning wife Magda added 2 lifers on the afternoon, which were American Wigeon and a single adult Horned Grebe (photo above).

Some of the other nice species located were: Red-necked Grebe, Wood Duck, Green-winged Teal, Red-tailed Hawk (Krider's subspecies), Gray Partridge, 50+ Sharp-tailed Grouse, Dunlin, White-rumped Sandpiper, Wilson's Snipe, Upland Sandpiper (photo above), Forster's Tern, Northern Flicker, Warbling Vireo, Gray-cheeked Thrush (photo above), Brown Thrasher, Yellow Warbler (photo above), several stunning Blackpoll Warblers (photo above), Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Vesper Sparrow and several small flocks of Pine Siskins.

We also enjoyed one of my mothers awesome picnic lunches, WOW!

Great Food and Great Birds, that's a tough combination to beat.

Good Birding, STEVEN EASLEY
