Birded Willow Creek WMA this morning and flushed a SORA from the tall grass
along Willow Creek. Ice along the creek most likely pushed the bird out into
the grass. Large flocks of American robins were eating the Russian olive
fruits in the area and being harassed by a Cooper's hawk. Other birds in the
area included:
Bewick's wrens
Marsh wrens
White-crowned sparrows (numerous)
Golden-crowned sparrows (a few)
Dark-eyed juncos
Prairie falcon
Red-tailed hawk
Green-winged teal
Gadwall
Hooded merganser
Mallard
Barrow's goldeneye
Belted kingfisher
American coot
Ring-necked pheasant
Downy woodpecker
Northern flicker
Later in the day and east of Boardman, a large flock of red-winged blackbirds
(in the 100's) contained a single YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD. The birds were
gathering on power lines as they headed for their evening roost site.
