Thanks Russ for posting the SURF SCOTER find at Copeland's ponds today (10-27-2014). They were still present (and resting nicely) at about 2:00 pm. One SAY'S PHOEBE on a small building in the pond area, which was busy attempting to chase off a BLACK PHOEBE and several YELLOW-RUMP WARBLERS. Four BONAPARTE'S GULLS were also present on the pond. Found a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER at Fish Hatchery County Park this morning. Not my latest, but hanging in late none the less. Dennis (north of Grants Pass)
