Folks,
We went out to Stoller Rd., east of Lafayette, at 11:15, today 5-2-13. In
the cut hayfields we saw:
4 Gt. Blue Herons
6 Red-tailed Hawks
3 SWAINSON'S HAWKS (2 dark, 1 intermediate)
1 Kestrel
2 Turkey Vultures overhead
Plus:
2 BULLOCK'S ORIOLES at the first place on the right as you come west from
the 90 degree corner
2 WESTERN KINGBIRDS on utility poles near the junction with Henry Cr. Rd.
Good birding, everyone,
Paul Sullivan & Carol Karlen
McMinnville

I had 5 Swainson¹s hawks flying around the field this morning, Thursday, May
2nd at 9:30 am. When I first got to Stoller Road there was an adult Bald
eagle circling over the field, 7-8 Red tailed hawks perched in or around the
field, a kettle of Turkey vultures, and one American kestrel. The Swainson¹s
were 4 dark morphs and one lighter bird and they were flying up to the
utility poles along Stoller Road and then landing on the ground in the
field. Along Stoller closer to Lafayette I had an adult Coopers hawk fly
across the road and through the trees.
