I must be the fellow with the camera Andy was referring to, as I saw no one
else with a camera while I was there.
As Andy mentions, the Mt. Bluebirds and the Say's Phoebes (and the YR
Warbler) were found on both sides of the Hawthorne trail, a few hundred
feet below the junction with the Summit Lane trail.
Good Birding,

P.S. I tried to find the Wild Turkeys on Mountain Rd. in Clackamas Co. but
had no luck. I spoke briefly with an employee of the farm where they were
last seen. She told me the one tom and two hens showed up about five
months ago and to her knowledge, they are wild birds. She said she hadn't
seen them for a few days.

As of about 12:30 today, Mountain Bluebirds are still around that spot. I
saw 1 or 2 but a gentleman with a camera saw 5. Down Hawthorn Trail a bit
-- almost to the tree line -- there was a Say's Phoebe making flycatching
sorties from a branch, and 1 or 2 Yellow-rumped Audubon warblers. Also saw
a couple of American Kestrels and a pair of hawks that I now believe were
Red-tails (At first I though they were another species because they were so
dark, but checking field guide photos, Red tail makes more sense.)
