Talked to Terry Wahl today, nothing rare but here are a few birds seen at
the family ranch near Cape Blanco recently:

1- TROPICAL KINGBIRD this morning, calling too.
lots of CACKLING GEESE, the most he has ever seen near the mouth of the Elk
River, he said around 1,000 plus a couple hundred regular Canadas yesterday.
200 AMERICAN PIPITS around the ranch with a LAPLAND LONGSPUR or two with
each flock (one flock of 120 and another about 80)
1- female YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD (he had one overwinter the past two
years, maybe again this year?)
1- LESSER GOLDFINCH (unusual on the outer coast, I had a couple at the N.
Spit of Coos Bay on the 13th also)
1 BARN SWALLOW (about a week ago)
He says there are 3 or 4 PALM WARBLERS around their main barn.  They also
store lots of grain in the barn and there are about 400 EURASIAN
COLLARED-DOVES seemingly permanently entrenched inside and around the barn.

That's it for now-enjoy!
