Folks, We found the first Osprey of the year at the nest 2 mi W of Amity on the Amity-Bellevue Hwy on 3-26-14 (the first one appeared there last year on 3-10-13). We found the next Osprey at the southeast end of Grand Island on 3-27-14. We found two Osprey at the nest 2 mi W of Amity on the Amity-Bellevue Hwy and another single on the nest SW of the Brigittine Monastery on 4-1-14. We still have a Rough-legged Hawk on Delashmutt Ln, SW of McMinnville as of 4-1-14. Carol also saw an eagle right in the sun. Bale eagles are incubating on three nests that we know of in Yamhill County. Kestrels are paired up everywhere. We saw a Peregrine on Stoller Rd, E of Lafayette. We saw silhouette swallows flying high around the bridge over the S Yamhill River, 2.5 mi W of Amity on the Amity-Bellevue Hwy on 4-1-14. This is our traditional spot for Rough-winged Swallows. Good birding, everyone, Paul Sulllivan & Carol Karlen McMinnville
