We spent about 2.5 hours birding Skinner's Butte in Eugene under cloudy
skies and a few drops of rain. Notable were the number of Tanagers, as
many as 50 flocking through as we arrived at 7:45am, but then showed
only occasionally in ones and twos. Wilson's Warbler and Warbling Vireo
were abundant, with Bushtit, Cassin's Vireo, and Orange-crowned Warbler
common. The following is a list of the morning's sightings. There may be
