The 3 of us watched 2 Common NIghthawks last night for about 15min as they were
working a clearcut about 0.5mi south of Timber, OR, right at sunset. We also
saw the male display a few times and do the racecar for us. At the same stop
were 2 well-seen Mountain Quail and we could hear a Sooty Grouse call in the
distance (kind of late for them).
2 youngster Barred Owls were staring at us at a site near the bottom of the
switchbacks a few miles south of Timber.
Many birds were still singing until late. In particular, the density of singing
Swainson's Thrushes in appropriate habitat (i.e. pretty much everywhere) is
maddening.
