What a windy day for birders hoping to find some small passerines. It didn't
work for us. The intermittent rain probably didn't help but wasn't too bad.
We had to cut the route short on North Shore Drive due to squishy mud.
Probably the bird of the day was the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher near Eagle Rock
and second, the heard-only Mountain Quail in 2 locations. A Coopers Hawk
hunting at Juniper Cemetery was possibly the reason we found no warblers or
small birds there. We saw several young Great Blue Herons in 2 nests at the
rookery at the Prineville Sewage Ponds.
