I just finished up the first segment chronicling our recent trip (13-16 June) to southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada. The first segment covers the drive and birding stops we made traveling from Portland to Winnemucca, Nevada and shares some thoughts on why Shawneen and I are finding so much joy going to places we've never been before. The second segment will cover our day up in the Santa Rosa Mountains. Then I will do a third segment covering day three and four, which included a quick trip over the border into Owyhee County, Idaho, plus birding in Malheur, Harney counties on Sunday, then more birding in Harney and Grant counties as we made our way home on Monday. http://www.birdfellow.com/journal/2014/06/28/high_desert_adventure_part_i_headed_for_nevada Dave Irons Portand, OR
