Cimarron County, OK

After waiting impatiently for it to get light out this morning, I ventured forth on sometimes icy, sometimes just wet, roads from Arnett (nw OK, not Panhandle) to Cimarron Co. (western OK Panhandle), birding on the way. Highlights were many many Mountain Bluebirds, a Great Horned Owl on its nest, a very close Townsend's Solitaire, and two Black-billed Magpies in the back "yard" of the B&B where I am staying. Although there's still a small amount of snow on the ground out here, the roads are fine. Tomorrow looks to be a good day for birding (aren't they all?).
