Hi Folks,
Mark Hamm and I did a little scouting Saturday for the following series of
short field trips. I thought I would take advantage of a two-hour period
while my daughter is driving for her Driver's Education class for a few
more Saturdays. So I hope some of you can join me. Mark Hamm may be along
as well if he is available.
Some of our interesting sightings from Saturday were:
SAY'S PHOEBE near the Dixonville quarry.
GOLDEN EAGLE north of the ODFW office.
Leucistic FOX SPARROW continues at the ODFW office, in shrubs near the
feeders to the west of the office (see photos from December here

Following is the announcement that will be on the Umpqua Valley Audubon
Website soon (www.umpquaaudubon.org)
Four-in-a-Row Short Saturday Field Trips
Matt Hunter will lead short birding walks at some central and east Roseburg
sites for the next four weeks while his daughter is in Driver's Education
class at the UCC Small Business Development Center (SBDC, 2555 NE Diamond
Lake Blvd., just before Abby's Pizza on the right on the way out of town).
Meet at 0855 at the SBDC, southeast parking area. From there we will travel
less than 10 minutes to a nearby location where we will look and listen for
birds for about 45 minutes. We will then drive to a second nearby location
for about another 45 minutes. Matt will need to be back at the SBDC at
1100. If you don't meet in time at the SBDC, feel free to call Matt
(541-670-1984) to meet wherever he is (or you can meet at the first site
shortly after 0900). No cost for any of these field trips.

Feb 8, O.C. Brown Park & Dixonville quarry
