House Finches ar far down in Laurelhurst, Portland. Their numbers and those of
House Sparrows seemed to decline at the same time that Lesser Goldfinches
increased from none, to being the most common species in the neighborhood.

I noted that Dawn Harris just reported a Yaquina Bay CBC record 148 Eurasian
Collared Doves. This species has been absent at my house near Eckman Lake in
Waldport for more than two years but about 10 days ago 1 appeared at our
feeder. This morning the number has increased to 8 and there's lots of
courtship going on.
I hope the sharp-shinned hawk that pinned a chickadee against our bay window
recently is still around and take notice of the doves.
