Hello, this is the Audubon Society of Portland Rare Bird Report. This report
was made Thursday October 8. If you have anything to add call Harry Nehls at
503-233-3976.
The three BARNACLE GEESE continue at Pacific City. A BAR-TAILED GODWIT and
an HUDSONIAN GODWIT are among a flock of MARBLED GODWITS now being seen at
Ilwaco Washington. On October 1 two DICKCISSELS were at Cape Blanco.
An influx of MOUNTAIN CHICKADEES into western Oregon during the week brought
birds to Yaquina Head, North Bend, Silverton, and Sutherlin. CHESTNUT-BACKED
CHICKADEES are also on the move, especially along coast. A movement of
AMERICAN WIGEON brought EURASIAN WIGEON to Coos Bay, Nehalem Bay, Finley
NWR, and Sutherlin. TROPICAL KINGBIRDS are now being seen along the coast.
On October 1 a SNOWY EGRET and over 300 ELEGANT TERNS were at Gold Beach. A
BOBOLINK and 12 LAPLAND LONGSPURS were seen October 4 at the South Jetty of
the Siuslaw River. A LARK SPARROW was at the North Jetty of Yaquina Bay
October 5. At the South Jetty of the Columbia River October 4 were three
LAPLAND LONGSPURS and a PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER. Up to 1500 BROWN PELICANS
were there October 6.
On October 5 a BRANT was among a large flock of Cackling geese at Dawson
Park in Hillsboro. A ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK was at the Philomath Sewage Ponds
October 6.
That¹s it for this week.
