Hello All,
Today's bird song walk on Mt. Tabor in Portland was very good. There were
good numbers of birds in most areas of the park. Notable were numbers of
WESTERN TANAGERS and BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS. Also, W. WOOD-PEWEES and
OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS are present in good numbers. TOWNSEND'S WARBLER
numbers are still quite high as are BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS. Some of
the below estimates are conservative. Also, I have not included every
species we saw (commoner stuff like crows, etc.).
Red-tailed Hawk- 1
Band-tailed Pigeon- 7
Red-breasted Sapsucker- 1
Olive-sided Flycatcher- 4
W. Wood-Pewee- 6
Swainson's Thrush- 2 heard by others
VARIED THRUSH- 1, getting quite late
Cassin's Vireo- 4
Warbling Vireo- 5
Yellow-rumped Warbler- 4
Black-throated Gray- 30+
Townsend's Warbler- 50+
Hermit Warbler- 1
Wilson's Warbler- 7
WESTERN TANAGER- 25+
BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK- 25+, 6 at my feeders before the walk
Chipping Sparrow- 1Red Crossbill- 10 +
Evening Grosbeak- 10
Throw in all the other birds and it added up to a very birdy morning.
Good birding,
