ECAS Wednesday birders visited Hatfield, front pond only, and Redmond Sewage
Pond and lastly Lynx Pond.
A GOOD BIRD for Deschutes county, Wednesday Birders found a BLUE-GRAY
GNATCATCHER along the NW corner of the Redmond Sewage Pond. See earlier
post. It was spotted initially by Kim Boddie and eventually seen by
everyone. The birds all moved around bushtit style feeding low in vegetation
below us. From the west side we stood on the dike road and looked toward the
NW watching the birds. We caught up with Kim Kathol out there, told him
about it, and he re-located the bird 25 minutes later in the same place.
3rd day with Gnatcatcher this year for WB but the other 2 were in Crook
county.
We also had 3 WILLOW FLYCATCHERS which can be hard to find in the county
except during migration and we have Kimdel Owen to thank for that. He
birded with us at Redmond and mentioned that he had seen one yesterday at
Lynx Pond. So we went there after main pond and sure enough, THREE of them
with other migrant passerines.
Miscellany, we enjoyed a Porcupine along the N edge of the first pond at
Hatfield. We got a photo of a unique trifecta today, all three Kim birders
together. Other misc. info, we are at 206 birds for WB so far for 2013.
Birders today, Megan, Vickie and Ann of Eugene, Jim Palmer, Erik Jensen,
Susan Groszkviewicz, Claire Weiser, Kim Boddie, Allison Boucher, Howard
Horvath, and at Redmond only, Kimdel Owen and Kim Kathol. Full list below.
Good birding, Judy Meredith, jmeredit@xxxxxxxxxxx
