This is prime time to get close-up views of these gorgeous little warblers: the
males are singing like crazy, fighting, chasing each other, and doing plenty of
it low in the trees...later they tend to stay higher in the canopy. Saturday
evening, Maxwell Butte Sno-Park was swarming with them, but too late for photo
light, so I went back before dawn this morning and found plenty of them, along
with a busy and loud pair of pileated woodpeckers, plenty of other
high-Cascades species, and one black bear roaring loudly across a clearcut
somewhere. If you go up that way, go before sun-up, pick a stump near a forest
edge, sit down with binocs and a coffee, and enjoy the early morning forest
activity. Hermit pics at www.birdingoregon.com/field-notes.html.
