Good for Deschutes County, the LARK SPARROW was our most unusual bird today.
We had a big day with sparrows, with 9 species although the Green-tailed
Towhee was seen poorly. No Goshawk for us today although we spent over an
hour at Pumice Springs. Also, passerine migration wasn't showing out there,
only 1 species Warbler, 1 species flycatcher etc. Clark's Nutcrackers most
active and visible around Pumice Springs. Sand Springs is nearly dry, larger
pond at Pumice is nearly dry.
