Hi all,
As posted on the Mid-Valley list, today we had what sounded like a
Black-throated Gray Warbler singing on the ridge west of our house.
Big-leaf maples are in bloom up there but it sounded like it was coming
from conifers -- so I'm leaving open the possibility of a very early
Hermit Warbler. I don't think it was a Townsend's.
Orange-crowned and Audubon's Warblers are also singing regularly now.
Yellowthroats have arrived but I haven't heard one singing yet.
We had an adult Golden Eagle cruise north along Tampico Ridge today.
Although this species is rare in the mid-Willamette Valley, this is the
second time that I've recorded one on April 8th, in 10 years of
residence at this location. There are some advantages to living next to
a ridge that runs north-south, even if it does block our late-afternoon
sun.
Happy birding,
Joel
