Saw a very bright EURASIAN WIGEON on Torvend Rd Pond (just west of Silverton) at noon today. Came by again at 3 PM with camera ready but couldn't relocate the bird. Wood Ducks, American Wigeon, Ring-necked Ducks, DC Cormorants, a Greater Yellowlegs, Pied-billed Grebe, and Canada Geese were also on the pond. We went to Baskett Slough NWR in early afternoon and saw mostly Northern Shovelers, PIntails and American Coot along with several large Cackler flocks and common raptors like Bald Eagles. Saw someone looking for the Shrike at west end of Narrows but only realized what he was doing when we were long gone. Hope he had luck with the shrike. Have seen them here in Marion County up by Silver Falls State Park a couple years ago.
