Hi all,
I hate to interfere with the discussion of cranky old birders and
ebird by posting some bird observations, but ...
Sitting out here on the coast south of Waldport, it was interesting
to see birds that I've more often seen in grass fields in the
Willamette Valley. Of course a few KILLDEER and AMERICAN PIPITS can
show up along the coast, but I have to wonder if some might have
headed west over the Coast Range to Lincoln County, in response to
the lingering foot or two of snow in the mid-Willamette Valley.
Happy birding,
Joel
