Dennis Arendt reports:
The Eugene Wednesday birding group went into the east side of Alton
Baker park this morning. It rained a bit, but was drier than we
expected. We walked the trails looking for a Northern Shrike that had
been seen here during the Eugene CBC, but we were unable to relocate it.
We had a good variety of species, including ten Meadowlarks. At 10:00
we went to Scott McNeeley's house, which is east of Alton Baker Park.
The feeder's at Scott's house brought in White-breasted Nuthatch, Anna's
Hummingbirds, Downy Woodpecker, House Finches, Lesser Goldfinches,
Chickadees, various sparrows and many other regular feeder birds. His
backyard and deck provided a great location for bird watching. Our
