This beautiful morning we went to an new area: "Andrew Reasoner Wildlife area"
(about 8 miles out Lorane Hwy) The trail is basically a worn gravel road, wide
enough to clear the plentiful Poison Oak. This upland environment is a mixture
of conifers, oak woodland, and semi-open area. The many mature conifers were
Douglass Fir, true fir, and the valley Ponderosa Pine. We felt lucky to get
seven warblers, and surprised to find obviously nesting Willow Flycatchers
(away from riparian shrubbery). Surprisingly also, was apparent lack of
vireos, no woodpeckers (only flicker). And, no Pygmy Owl response to much
imitated calling.
