A RED-SHOULDERED HAWK was at Rock Creek Conservation Area, (Coastal)
Lane Co. on Tuesday.
I saw two GRAY CATBIRDS this morning at HMSC. A juvenile was in the
usual spot in the twinberries west of the wetland bridge. An adult was
on the east end of the bridge in the twinberries very near the trail.
Also saw a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK.
Early passerine migrants were taking advantage of the nice weather on Mt
Hebo, Tillamook Co. I got to watch a good sized mixed flock of warblers
and chickadees that included at least a dozen HERMIT WARBLERS and nearly
that many WILSON'S WARBLERS. A promising crop of MOUNTAIN HUCKLEBERRIES
has attracted the attention of many AMERICAN ROBINS and CEDAR WAXWINGS.
I also made time to take a stroll around the Nehalem Sewage Ponds in the
afternoon. Most impressive was a gathering flock of 52 juvenile
BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS. Also a small flock of LEAST and WESTERN
SANDPIPERS and one SPOTTED SANDPIPER. A COOPER'S HAWK popped out of the
cottonwood stand and startled the sandpiper flock which attracted the
attention of a PEREGRINE.
