The Pacific Loon was still there this morning, the 14th, around 10:45.
Another birder and I saw it clearly through my scope from the River Patrol
dock looking west out beyond the next structure (piling or dock or
something). So it was not seen from Broughton Beach but farther west. The
usual grebe species were also present.

Seaside, Clatsop County, Oregon 1335
I walked from my house to the area where the HARRIS'S SPARROW is ranging. I
took about 10 minutes before I saw the bird with other Zonotricha sparrows
in the blackberries at the dead-end of Ave F in the Neawanna Creek
floodplain Birders living in the house at the east end of Ave F on the
south side of the street are friendly and feeding the birds. They reported
the sparrow. More later. I just got home and am off to work this afternoon.

Subject: [obol] 11/14/13 - Baker County : LONG-TAILED DUCK(S)
Birders -
I drove through Baker City this morning (11/14, 10:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.am.),
and stopped at the Frontage Road Ponds (aka UPS Ponds). My first stop at
the south pond had bunch of the usual ducks. I could see some water
movement near the north edge, and just assumed that the activity was created by
Muskrats. Whatever it was, it was spending more time under water than
above. Then the culprits became apparent - a male and female LONG-TAILED DUCK.
A first for me in Baker County. I snapped a bunch of photos and called a
handful of Baker birders. A photo of both birds can be viewed here:

Hello all~
I was able to refind the YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD and 3 TRI-COLORED BLACKBIRDS
(2 males & 1 female) in the massive blackbird/starling flock south of Lower
River Rd. The flock was closer to the south end of Hunt Ln when I arrived and
then it moved west into the pumpkin field directly south of the the junction of
Lower & Upper River Rd. http://goo.gl/maps/Krf1m
There may have been a female Yellow-headed Blackbird and more female
Tri-colored Blackbirds, but the flock was very distant. The YELLOW-HEADED
BLACKBIRD that I saw was an immature male, but it didn't have much (any?) white
in the wings and I was never able to locate it in flight when the flock flew. I
only saw it on the ground.
Also in the area were 9 GREAT EGRETS (Hunt Ln), 5 AMERICAN PIPITS, 1 SAY'S
PHOEBE and some geese.
At Lake Selmac, there was a female GREATER SCAUP, a female NORTHERN SHOVELER
and 10 RING-NECKED DUCKS. There was also an immature OSPREY, a very
fresh-looking bird with a scalloped appearance to the dorsal side of the
back/wings.

Wintering Common Loons are probably best photographed in harbors (Ilwaco,
Westport) or estuaries/inlets (Newport Bay) off the outer coast. Westport, WA,
is particularly good for Common. Damon Point State Park in Ocean Shores is very
good for Red-throated in fall. You might catch them in breeding plumage in fall
or again in spring. They are not uncommon along the Columbia River, but may be
too far out for getting shots. Hagg Lake is good, but again the birds are
usually too far out.
Sometimes loons will stop over in fall at smaller lakes and molt may render
them flightless (like a Yamhill Co Pacific Loon did a few years ago) for a few
weeks. This is a good time to pull the trigger and get your shots.
Common Loons do not breed in OR (neither do Pacific and Red-throated) and only
very sparsely in Northern WA state on the east side of the Cascades. The
Okanogan usually has a couple of breeding pairs. Occasionally Common Loons
summer in OR. Only rarely you can hear them yodel in migration, but I have
heard it a couple of times.

So I'm pretty new at birding and am mostly interested in photographing them, so
pardon my ignorance! Can anyone suggest where to get a good shot of any of the
local loons? Do they winter over here? I've always wanted to hear their call.
Where/when would I be able to hear them around here?

Ditto on everything Stefan says. However, I'd add that the relatively modest
number of loons along the Columbia in the Portland region DO in fact spend a
fair amount of time close to shore within reasonable distance for photography
-- e.g. every one of the 6 loons I saw the other day was quite close to one
shoreline or another. The challenge with the river is that the access points
can be difficult (and sometimes dangerous, along Marine Drive), such that the
birds are not always close to the spots where access is easiest and safest. ...
As far as hearing them, as the new eBird reviewer for Clackamas County, I
recently learned that several birders were hearing them call quite a bit this
fall (Oct mostly) up on Timothy Lake. I don't know whether those birds are
still around or how normal it is to hear them calling there.

From: Andy Frank <andydfrank@xxxxxxxxx>
The ROSS'S GOOSE found yesterday by Scott Carpenter on Sauvie Island was
still present this afternoon. It was in the field behind the Sauvie Island
Dog Kennel across from Coon Point. As reported by Beverly Hallberg on the
Portland Area google group
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/portland-area-birds there
may be two present. The geese were actively feeding and at times were
partially or totally hidden by corn stalks. There were several Snow Geese
present. When I saw the Ross's, it was quite distant and viewing
definitely required a scope.

Yes, on the high mountain lakes. We had them at Crescent Lake in October and
they often hang around into the winter...so cool to see and hear them on a
crisp clear winter day with all the snow!
