There are also some spectacular ORB-WEAVER spider webs out in the prairie planting area, including one Argiope-sized spider (though not as strikingly marked as Argiope aurantia -- possibly a Banded Argiope, A. trifasciata). Happy birding/orbing, Joel -- Joel Geier Camp Adair area north of Corvallis _______________________________________________ birding mailing list birding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://midvalleybirding.org/mailman/listinfo/birding OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
