Armitage County Park, McKenzie River near the confluence with Willamette River. 
 Rather quiet; not helped either, by the traffic noise off I-5 and Coburg 
bridges.   Except for Song, sparrows, towhees, and finches essentially absent.  
A ground-feeding group of 7 Varied Thrushes was a nice surprise.  

    Double-crested Cormorant - 3
Bald Eagle - 2 adult
White-tailed Kite -  1 possible; seen flying as silhouette.  Without detail, 
the pointed wings, long tail, and gull-like flight indicated this bird; an 
unusual sight along coburg hills and following the river.
