In the hills behind Lane Community College we made a complete circle by taking 
the trail straight eastward, then continuing over the hill southward, to meet a 
main gravel powerline mainenance road to the west, then back on the homestead 
trail northward to eventually meet where we started.  We met two small flocks 
of mixed warblers, vireo, chickadees.  Interesting was the absence of robins, 
which normally are present in the area this time of year.
