Subject: [obol] Re: Hawk ID help
This is as juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk. The folded primary tips stop about
2 inches shy of the tip of the tail. On a Red-tail the primaries would be
even with the tail end. A Cooper's primary tips stop at the base of the
tail when folded. The cere is still gray/ blue--that waxy tissue around the
nostrils, unlike the horny beak itself. Adult raptors usually have a yellow
cere. I saw my first 'shoulder in Oregon at Eckman Lake,(Waldport) in 2004.
While it was flying l thought it was a Cooper's--the wings are so short and
the tail so long compared to other local buteos. The wing load is high so
Redshoulders have an Accipter giss in motion.
I believe half or more of the Redshouldered Hawk detections l've made
north of Polk County were in November. And with one notable exception , all
first year birds.

I believe this is a juvenile red-tail, not red-shoulder. As for primary
projection, it falls several inches short (i.e. very noticeably short) in
red-shoulders, and just a little short in red-tails, as is the case with
this bird. Although we don't have a clear view of the ventral side of this
bird, it appears to have a clear upper breast and throat, which you would
never see in a red-shoulder. Also, the markings on the lower breast and
belly are diamond- or chevron-shaped as in red-tails, not more
teardrop-shaped as in red-shoulders. In addition, the dark bands on the
tail of this bird are much narrower than the light bands, as with red-tails.
In juvenile red-shoulders it's the reverse, or at least the bands are of
equal width. Finally, there is far too much white on the upper surface of
this bird in the scapulars, and far too little patterning in the face, for
it to be a red-shoulder.

Subject: [obol] Emperor Goose
After a while of searching this morning, I finally found the emperor goose on
sauvie island. I had actually given up and was heading home, and found one
large flock of cackling geese, which also had the emperor goose in it.
According to my eBird report, it was actually in multnomah county. Here is a
distant pic and a map to where I saw it last. The group flushed and most
returned to the field, but I wasn’t able to re find the emperor goose. But I
was also short on time and needed to get the car back to my wife. At least it
is still around. Fun to see, even if briefly!

I disagree with Lars, but agree with Olin Allen. The photos show a
RED-TAILED HAWK immature. As Olin mentioned, the dark tail bands are the
narrower bands, where in Red-shouldered the dark bands are noticeably the
thicker bands. The tail does NOT project far enough past the wingtips for
Red-shouldered, but fine for immature Red-tailed Hawks; I believe immature
Red-tailed Hawks have shorter wings than adults. The spotted white patch on
the scapulars of this bird coupled with the white splotches on the wing
coverts will form two messy V's on the mantle (back and adjacent upper
parts) if we could see the dorsal side if this bird--those mantle V's are a
classic, but lesser-known Red-tailed Hawk field mark.

You want all-time first records for Anna’s by location? There are some early
dates in Marshall et al. Birds of Oregon 2003.
See my article in Western Birds also, for earliest Oregon record in 1940s.
Zimmerman in American Birds is not correct.
Also see Birds of Coos County and the Lincoln records that Range Bayer
published. There are county publications for Lane Co that may help. Contact
Hendrik for Benton.
First breeding is harder to demonstrate.

Subject: [obol] jaieger/skua question
Many years ago I saw a skua/jaeger species over Thornton Creek (Lincoln).II
know it was a jaeger or a skua, because it was dark and had the white primary
patches typical of that family. I saw those marks clearly as the bird was
overhead, Howver,I did not have binoculars at the time, and the bird was
several hundred feet above me, so I had (and have) no way of determining its
specific i.d. But I do have a question. The bird was soaring in circles, like a
buteo. I have seen quite a few (not lots) of jaegers, and have never seen one
soar. I have seen precisely one skua in my life, so nothing about them. Are
either jaegers or skuas known to soar? Are both? Just curious.

jaegers can soar remarkably well. I saw a Parasitic at Davis Lake in late
summer many years ago that left the lake surface and soared more or less
straight up until I could not see it at all WITH 8x binoculars. It hardly moved
a wing.
How high was it then? Maybe 6,000 feet? I’m sure that the wonder of physics
would give us an answer but I don’t do math.

If you're fed up with geese, ducks, gulls, mild weather and tame conditions on
the west side of the Cascades, then this is the count for you!
The Antone Christmas Bird Count features cool birds like Mountain Quail, Canyon
Wren, American Dipper, Northern Shrike, and the occasional flock of Common
Redpolls. If you like Townsend's Solitaires, we sometimes get them by the
hundreds! Golden Eagles, Prairie Falcons and Northern Goshawk are also expected.
Our packet for volunteers this years includes a "backcountry hiking hazard
assessment." Honestly, we don't expect for poisonous snakes or sunstroke to be
an issue at this time of year, but the other precautions all seem valid.
If this didn't scare you off then please contact me to volunteer. Once again,
we're looking forward to meeting in the kitchen of the historic Cant Ranch
house along the wild and scenic John Day River, before and after the count.
Please contact me for details if you're interested.
