She unearthed a childhood journal today while helping her mother sort
through a few belongings. It is a detailed account of 5 days of looking
for birds at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in May of 1973. I was
happy that 42 years later I was able to correct what was an obvious mistake
- I mean really, who's ever heard of a Marsh Hawk?
The bad news for me came when I read her description of a Marbled Godwit,
not to be mistaken with the (perhaps) more well known Garbledmodwit that is
endemic to the southern coast of Oregon.
Her life list just eclipsed mine - I better find that Spotted Owl soon.
