Birders -
I stopped by the La Grande Waste Water Treatment Ponds yesterday evening
(11/04, 4:00 p.m.). The time change is definitely going to put a damper on
my after work birding. However, in the last of the evening light, I
located a winter female LONG-TAILED DUCK on the south pond, loosely
associating
with a small raft of RUDDYS. I was able to fire off a few snaps, with the
best one embedded in my eBird submission here:

LONG-TAILED DUCKS are near annual in Union County, seen usually from Oct
1st - Nov 31st. & usually from larger bodies of water, so this was expected.
The RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER was seen numerous times yesterday (11/04, 9:45
a.m. - 12:30 p.m.), by numerous local birders. Per usual the ABA site
trimmed my long URL off of my in-flight Woodpecker photo. It only needs a "g"
to work, but here is a shorter URL which will lead you to the same location:

The additional snow of this morning is drawing me out to the Horned Lark
fields ...
Good birding,
