Wednesday birds - Eugene
From Dennis Arendt
Date June 25, 2014 12:53
The Wednesday birders from Eugene went to the Clearwater Park trail in
Springfield. Allann Bros. coffee shop was closed for painting, so the
group met in the Mexican restaurant next door. Allann Bros. will be
open next Wednesday. It sprinkled briefly and was cool while we walked
on the paved trail birding by ear more than by sight. Mosquitoes were
prevalent. We looked and listened for the Red-eyed Vireo that has been
in this area in past years. It was not found today. We did find a few
young birds and nests, including a young Great Horned Owl, several baby
Spotted Sandpipers with their parents, an Anna's Hummingbird nest over
the trail. Spotted towhees, American Robins, Song Sparrows,
Black-headed Grosbeaks and Cedar Waxwings were very common. The entire
list is below.
Wood Duck - one seen flying over
Great Blue Heron
Turkey Vulture
Spotted Sandpiper - several adults and at least 3 fuzzy little guys
