Hello all,
While cruising Finley NWR today to work on our 2017 year list, Oscar and I
found an adult NORTHERN SHRIKE at the parking area on Bruce Rd. east of
McFaden Marsh. It was in the company of a BLACK PHOEBE. Pics in my eBird
list: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S33390502
On our way back into town, we stopped on Harrison Blvd. just east of the
OSU Dairy Barns and found a flock of at least 105 WILSON'S SNIPES with
about 130 KILLDEER. This may well be the biggest concentration of snipe
I've ever seen in Benton County.
Happy New Year's birding!
Hendrik & Oscar
