The photographers / birders were in hog heaven with the charming Dippers.
They are nesting again at the bridge in Camp Sherman and apparently beside
the display pond at Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery. Orange-crowned Warbler was
near the bridge Camp Sherman. Between Head of the Metolius and Camp
Sherman, a flock of birds caught our attention. In big ponderosa stand near
the roadside we had loudly singing Cassin's Finches, Red Crossbills and
everyone's favorites, a pair of White-headed Woodpeckers. John pointed out
a spring or seep nearby which may explain so many birds at that spot.
Birders today Claire Weiser, Chris Schneekloth, Denise Fainberg, Don
Sutherland, Kathy Hall, Jan Landau, Sherrie Pierce, John and Anne Gerke,
Kara Jakse, Diane Burgess, Susan and Ted Groszkiewicz, Loren Smith, Dave
Rein, Tom Lawler, Tom Penpraze, Jan Rising, judy Meredith.
