Waite Ranch team (Tye Jeske, Josh Galpern, Daniel Farrar) at Florence CBC had
21 Lincoln’s and 8 Swamps. Plus almost a hundred Marsh Wren and over a hundred
Song Sparrows. It is basically all wet grass and marsh edge habitat.
When I have done the cape I do better on Lincoln's below Hughes House than I do
at the big marsh.
I’m not aware of any movements of Red Phal. I think I saw ONE in early
November.

On Tuesday there was a N SHRIKE at Johnson Mill Pond County Park near
Coquille.
On Wednesday Terry Wahl reported the following continuing birds: DUSKY FLY,
SAY’S PHOEBE, HARRIS’S SPARROW, 2 SNOW GEESE, and a TRUMPETER SWAN.
Today I scouted Cape Blanco area for PO CBC coming this Saturday. At the huge
marsh there were tens of rails calling- Virginia’s and Soras. At and adjacent
to parking area there were 6 SWAMP SPARROWS and 4 PALM WARBLERS. At Hughes
House an OSPREY was hanging out along river. A half dozen bluebirds were in
fields on drive in.
No crossbills or siskins to be found- both missed on Coos Bay CBC because
there are none around on coast now. Also, after several very windy storms,
no Red Phalaropes. Lincoln Sparrows almost missed on Coos Bay CBC (1) and
none seen today at Blanco marsh which has excellent habitat for them? I think
Florence CBC had good number though?
Happy CBCing!
