Today in the hills west of Willamina, Yamhill Co., I found a Swainson's Thrush nest containing four eggs. Photos are here: http://empids.blogspot.com/ When I returned home I checked the records of my Dad's collection (which, some Oregon birders know, is housed at Portland State University) and discovered that the Swainson's set in his collection was found exactly 62 years ago today -- June 20, 1952 -- just a few miles from where I found the nest today. ==================== Floyd Schrock McMinnville, Oregon USA http://empids.blogspot.com ====================
