3 Eared Grebes in alternate plumage were in the NE quadrant of Pintail Marsh
this morning at 1030. All three were close together, well away from shore,
necks tucked in.

Dear All,
I received an e-mail this evening that a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was seen
about 8 pm at a feeder approximately 1 mile due east of Mt. Talbert.
This is in the Happy Valley/Clackamas area. I will provide updates if I get
more information. This is about the 4th or 5th county record that I know about.
Sincerely,
Tim Janzen

Clackamas. A male BALTIMORE ORIOLE was coming to a feeder in Coos Bay during
the week. A pair of GREAT-TAILED GRACKLES continue at the Cave Junction Sewage
Ponds. One was at Lower Table Rock near Medford May 28. Several cruises far
offshore during the week found several HAWAIIAN PETRELS, COOK¹S PETRELS, and
SKUAS off southern Oregon. Two possible RED-LEGGED KITTIWAKES were reported May
24 in Warrenton.
During the week a MOCKINGBIRD, a bright male BLACKPOLL WARBLER, two CATBIRDS,
and a conspicuous WHITE-HEADED WOODPECKER were at Malheur Refuge Headquarters.
A NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH in Catlow Valley. A BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER at Page
Springs, a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW at Fish Lake in the Steens Mt. A NORTHERN
PARULA photographed at Fields May 21, a male BALTIMORE ORIOLE at Acty Mt. in
southern Harney Co., a REDSTART and Cottonwood Creek, and two SANDERLINGS at
Alvord Lake.
A movement of BLACK SWIFTS during the week brought birds to South Beach, south
of Newport, near Neskowin, at Falls City west of Dallas, and one at Hatfield
Lake near Bend. A singing CLAY-COLORED SPARROW continue on the South Spit of
Coos Bay.
A SABINE¹S GULL was reported May 22 at Smith-Bybee Lakes in North Portland.
On May 28 a GOLDEN EAGLE flew over Mt. Tabor in Portland heading westerly.
During the week up to seven WHITE PELICANS and a BONAPARTE¹S GULL were at the
Fernhill Wetlands. A possible TRICOLORED BLACKBIRD is now coming to a feeder in
Wilsonville. An ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER was near Brownsville May 26. A
SWAINSON¹S HAWK was over Corvallis May 23. Up to 26 WHITE-FACED IBIS are now at
Fern Ridge Reservoir.
Up to 26 FRANKLIN¹S GULLS were seen during the week at Hatfield Lake near Bend.

Subject: [obol] Josephine County run
Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 10:01:31 -0700
Folks,
You may know that I'm working toward 200 species in every Oregon county, and
Josephine County is the last one. As of Monday, I'd seen 188. There were a
number of good sightings reported so I made a run. Species marked with an
asterisk below were new additions for me.
Mon, May 26.
I met Russ Namitz for a trip up King Mountain in the NE corner of the county.
We found MOUNTAIN QUAIL , DUSKY FLYCATCHER, CASSIN'S VIREO, WARBLING VIREO &
TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE. Then we found a SOOTY GROUSE*
booming. On our way down the mountain we saw a plump Black Bear. After
dark we went SE of Grants Pass and found FLAMMULATED OWLS* and W. SCREECH
OWLS. Thanks, Russ.
Tues, May 27.
Near Selma I found WESTERN KINGBIRD. I visited the Cave Junction sewage ponds
and found the male and female GREAT-TAILED GRACKLES*.
In the afternoon I didn't find California Towhee or B-g gnatcatcher on
Rockydale Rd. I went up USFS Rd 48 toward Weston Ridge and Althouse Mt. I
found GOLDEN EAGLE*, MOUNTAIN QUAIL, PILEATED WOODPECKER, OLIVE-SIDED
FLYCATCHER, DUSKY FLYCATCHER, MOUNTAIN CHICKADEE, HERMIT THRUSH, NASHVILLE
WARBLER, GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE, FOX SPARROW. Beautiful vistas of those peaks.
On the way down I saw another Black Bear and a hen SOOTY GROUSE by the road.
In the evening, I joined Romain & Christie Cooper for a run up USFS Rd 4803 to
Waldo Hill. We found POORWILL*, W. SCREECH OWL, and BARRED OWL*.
Thanks, Romain & Christie.
Wed, May 28.
I birded the area behind the Merlin rest area on I-5 and found ASH-THROATED
FLYCATCHER and BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER.
From 8:30-1 o'clock I worked my way up King Mt and back down, looking in vain
for Hammond's Flycatcher. No luck there. I heard multiple YELLOW-BREASTED
CHATS. Near the top I heard a WRENTIT. On the way back down I called out a
PYGMY OWL which drew a crowd of Robins.
Six new species brings my tally to 194 species. Still no Hammond's Flycatcher
or Evening Grosbeak. BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS were abundant, and LAZULI BUNTINGS
were sprinkled about.
Good birding, everyone,
Paul Sullivan

Subject: [obol] Photos: Red-breasted Sapsucker Kills Chestnut-backed Chickadee
From: Jim Leonard <photojleonard@xxxxxxxxx>
A neighbor called me a few days ago and said the Red-breasted Sapsuckers were
back in the tree they nested in last year. When I arrived to take photos my
neighbor said the sapsuckers had left but he saw them mate on the ground. I
set up my tripod hoping they would come back. There we several bird excavated
holes in this dead alder tree. While waiting I noticed two Chestnut-backed
Chickadees going in and out of one of the holes with bugs for their young. They
were coming to the nest site about once every minute. The Red-breasted
Sapsuckers returned and I took some photos of them too. One of the sapsuckers
kept looking at the chickadee nesting hole and putting it's head inside like it
was curious what was going on in there. I thought to myself I hope it doesn't
bother them. The other sapsucker was pounding on the tree higher up, so I
thought it might be making a new nesting cavity for them to use. I took
several more pictures and thought I would return the next day for better
morning light on the nesting hole of the chickadees.
The next morning I went and set of my tripod for photos and the
Chestnut-backed Chickadees were feeding their young. After a few minutes the
sapsuckers returned and one kept looking in the nest hole of the chickadee's.
I thought the hole was too small for the sapsucker to go in but to my surprise
it went through the hole inside the cavity. It was a tight fit. The sapsucker
started throwing nesting material from the chickadee nest out the hole and
repeated this several times. To my shock it started pushing the young
chickadee babies out the hole until they dropped about 15 feet to the ground.
After doing that it continued throwing the rest of the nesting material out of
the hole. I went over a looked at the two babies laying on the ground. One
was dead and the other was alive but didn't look well. I picked up some of the
nesting material and placed it in the middle of a nearby fern. I then placed
the live baby chickadee on the nesting material hoping the parents would find
it and continue feeling it. The baby chickadee died a short time later.
l felt really bad for the chickadee babies and their parents. As a bird
watcher and a photographer I felt that I was there to observe and not to
intervene in what was happening in nature. I could have scared the sapsuckers
away but they would have returned after I left and probably done the same
thing. I think the sapsuckers had made the cavity earlier in the season and in
the mean time the chickadee's had moved their nest in.
It was time for the sapsuckers to nest so they did what they had to do.
I felt like I had witnessed on a small scale what a photographer must feel
like in Africa when a lion kills an animal. I felt a little sick to my
stomach. We expect this behavior from predator birds like eagles and hawks but
I didn't expect witnessing woodpeckers doing this!
I was feeling depressed about what I had just seen when I noticed a couple
of birds coming towards me hopping on the ground. It was Chestnut-backed
fledglings from another nesting site nearby. They looked like they had just
fledged and could only fly about a foot or two in distance. I took some photos
of them being fed by their parents. Seeing this renewed my spirit in nature.
Warning: please do not look at these photos if your think it might bother
you!! I was only recording what was happening in nature at that moment and
nature can be beautiful but also disturbing at times.
Click on link below for photos. Happy Birding, Jim Leonard.

Yesterday (5/28) I saw two pair of Harlequin Ducks loafing on a gravel bar on
the north bank of Salmon Creek in Oakridge about 0.25 miles upstream of the
Fish Hatchery Road crossing.
On the 24th, Peter Sanzenbacher and I encountered 5 Band-tailed Pigeons just
uphill of Campers Flat Campground along Rd. 21 on the WILLAMETTE National
Forest. They were in the newly restored savanna area know as "Jim's Creek"

Hi Dave and all,
That's a species which has been on my radar as a potential addition to the
Oregon state list for a while now. I was certainly checking out the cormorants
at Malheur this past weekend - so far, to no avail.:-)
Good birding

Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 19:39:17 +0000
Hi Folks,
I and some of the local birders I am associated with have been talking about
the paucity of Black Phoebes in the Willamette Valley this season. I have not
seen one since January, and the two places in the county where they nested last
year, are vacant this year. We are surmising that the cold spell this winter
killed them off. I would be interested in a discussion to see if others have
the same outlook. It could be very local in Polk County, or we could just be
missing them altogether. The latter seems unrealistic because a few of us have
birded quite extensively in the last few months, and it would seem we would
have had some success.
It may be that this species would need to repopulate itself if there was indeed
a die off?

I live outside the species' present range, just barely. I experienced
temperatures as low as 2-5 degrees Fahrenheit in early December in Polk and
Benton Counties. I was interested to see plenty of Anna's Hummingbirds the rest

There is also a Burrowing Owl on Princeton Road. When leaving MNWR
headquarters, turn left on the gravel road and head toward Princeton. On the
right side of the road, you will come to a windmill and stock pond. We saw the
bird twice just east of there.

I saw a Burrowing Owl today on the north side of Ruh Red Road, 3.3 miles east
of Hwy 205.
