Land birding in central Oregon.
Steve Kornfeld and I did some birding mid day. Nice to have so many
shorebirds at the end of October. I would not have expected 9 species. Treat
to see the 2 Pectorals at Redmond pond, so close. Four or five Greater
Yellowlegs. We studied all the Dowitchers at Redmond and at Hatfield and
could not find a short=billed. Geese at Hatfield, 3 species, missing was
Canada Goose. White=throated Sparrow at Tetherow Crossing was nice, up on
the rocky cliff with White=crowned. Swampy wet grassy edges along the river
should be inviting to a Swamp Sparrow one of these days. Ducks are out of
eclipse and fun to look at again in their bright colors. We found one
apparent immature male Eurasian Wigeon at Eagle Crest Ponds. New Sibley and
the newest Geo have different illustrations which led us at first to try to
figure out if it was a hybrid but it looks most like above, immature male.
Not much waterfowl variety around, zero goldeneye. (forgive me, I still
have to use = sign because hyphen is not working on my old laptop).
