Is it just my computer, or is the April 14 OBOL digest, V3 #125, off by a year for other obolers as well? All the posts are from April 2013 instead of April 2014. I only noticed because I started reading a post from myself that I didn't recall sending, with birds I haven't seen recently! For April 14, 2014: waves of SANDHILL CRANES have continued north the past few days, in flocks of 20-65. I am close enough to the Columbia River lowlands that I can see them from my yard, spiraling up. Some fly over already high overhead, from the south. Yesterday I put out another batch of clean crushed eggshells, and 15 or so BANDTAILS cleaned it up in no time. Juncos disappearing, golden-crowns looking handsome, and more bright American goldfinches arriving daily. Evening grosbeaks up to around 20 now. At Scappoose Bay Marina, a pair of PILIATED WOODPECKERS apparently are nesting there. Very active and vocal along the trail. Along a few local woodland creeks: corydalis in full bloom.
