The list is meager for a morning at the "South Willamette Dump" at end of 52nd 
St. - and it's even padded by my run around the memorial cemetery on Willamette 
opposite 40th St, which added more robins, Varied Thrushes, flickers, crows, 
starlings, and the Killdeer.  In the oak woods at the dump, we encountered the 
only numbers in mixed flock (mostly Golden-crowned Kinglets).  The 
White-breasted Nuthatches were a nice find, as they had been missed over recent 
years at this site.   Previously, they had been so reliable year-around in 
these oaks.
