Birders - I drove through Baker City this morning (11/14, 10:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.am.), and stopped at the Frontage Road Ponds (aka UPS Ponds). My first stop at the south pond had bunch of the usual ducks. I could see some water movement near the north edge, and just assumed that the activity was created by Muskrats. Whatever it was, it was spending more time under water than above. Then the culprits became apparent - a male and female LONG-TAILED DUCK. A first for me in Baker County. I snapped a bunch of photos and called a handful of Baker birders. A photo of both birds can be viewed here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15667615 Good birding, - Trent The Bobolink - Linking Birders & Birds 1707 5th Street La Grande, OR 97850 (541) 963 - 2888 avitours@xxxxxxx OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
