I checked the duck mix in for winter at Delta Ponds in Eugene today. Best
bird was a male CINNAMON TEAL near the bike bridge, which will likely
overwinter. RING-NECKED DUCKS and GADWALL are back in numbers.
On a side note, I had 6 species of *emberizine* sparrows in the yard
yesterday (Golden-crowned, White-crowned, Song, and Fox Sparrow, Spotted
Towhee, and juncos), which is the record for our yard for one day.
I've noticed a dearth of OBOL reports of late from Fern Ridge area, and
just wondered if this is from a recent lack of interesting birds or lack of
observer coverage. I would think there would still be some decent shorebird
movement there now.
Good birding,
Thomas Meinzen
