Hello, this is the Audubon Society of Portland Rare Bird Report. This report

The probable male BROAD-TAILED HUMMINGBIRD continues to be seen at an Oak
Grove feeder.

Shorebird migrations continue with LESSER YELLOWLEGS and dowitchers
increasing. On July 15 eight MARBLED GODWITS and 15 WHIMBREL were at the
Hammond Boat Basin. A PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER was at Fern Ridge Reservoir July
16 and an AVOCET was seen July 12 at New River. Large numbers of CALIFORNIA
GULLS are now along the Oregon coast.

On July 15 a pair of WESTERN KINGBIRDS with four chicks was photographed at
Baskett Slough NWR. On July 16 a TRICOLORED BLACKBIRD colony was reported
along Spicer Road southeast of Albany.

One or two CATBIRDS are now being seen at Camp Polk Meadows north of
Sisters. On July 13 up to 450 WHITE PELICANS were at Wickiup Reservoir south

That¹s it for this week.
