Eugene's Wednesday bird group went to the Delta Ponds expecting rain and fog
this morning. After a few sprinkles it turned warm and the sun was out as we
finished. Our best bird was a "Common Teal", male, seen in the large pond
through which the elevated trail passes. We saw 55 species, including uncommon
White-fronted Geese and a singing White-breasted Nuthatch. We walked along the
river and crossed over Goodpasture Island Road to the ponds near the Delta
Expressway. Here is our list.
