Hi
Janet Lamberson reports that she and Chuck Philo heard a "Sooty Grouse
booming from the Lincoln County side of Grass Mountain on the morning
of May 4. Among other birds also up there were some Western Bluebirds
and a Townsend's Solitaire." Chuck adds that they also saw a Barred
Owl.
Chuck found a Cassin's Vireo today (5/8) in Toledo.
Chuck also noted today that the Black Phoebe nest he had been
monitoring in Toledo was abandoned by May 2 after it had been about
75% completed. Chuck noted that 2 crows were nearby when he visited
it. After the nesting season, Tom & Allison Mickel reported what
looked like a Black Phoebe nest under a bridge at Beaver Creek last
year. But I know of no confirmed records of successful Black Phoebe
nesting in Lincoln County. He was the only to have any Black Phoebe
sightings in Lincoln County in April, and eBird so far does not have
any Black Phoebe records for Lincoln County, so it is looking like
they were widely reported in winter that they have become scarce and
may even be absent.
