We birded Lost Lake off Hwy 20 (3 miles west of the summit of the cascade range) this morning. The weather was spectacular and the birds were interesting. Seven GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE, close views of two cooperative GREATER YELLOWLEGS, more RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS than we could count, one GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET, loads of VARIED THRUSH and DARK-EYED JUNCO, a few STELLER'S JAY, one MERLIN repeatedly strafing the edges of nearby willows, an assortment of (Audubon's and Myrtle) YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, and notably one ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, which we found last year at the same location but twenty days earlier on September 14, 2013. http://www.jack-n-jill.net/blog/2014/10/lost-lake-hwy-20 -- Jack Williamson West Linn, Oregon
