I birded Fern Ridge this morning. Highlights included five WILSON'S
PHALAROPES, a BLACK-NECKED STILT, a GREATER YELLOWLEGS, and a couple of
BLACK TERNS. I got there a little later than planned and activity seemed
to be on the lighter side.
When I arrived, I ran into a birding group that was on their way out. One
of them told me that they'd seen Sandhill Cranes earlier in the morning.
About 20 minutes later, I ran into another person and mentioned this
sighting to him. This person told me that he'd seen something about a mile
off that looked to him like a crane, but he couldn't confirm the ID. I
kept my eyes peeled for the hour and a half that I was there, but did not
see any cranes. I don't know if there is any precedent for Sandhills
breeding west of the Cascades in drought years.
