Dennis Arendt and I selected two places to bird this morning: The Ridgeline
Trail where it blends into the south end of the Hendrick’s Park trail — here,
there is a rather extensive Oregon Oak forest amidst the Doug Fir — and the
trail in the hills behind Lane Community College. I am listing for both areas,
respectively.
