        The Wednesday morning group decided to head out west to Zumwalt park on 
the southwest portion of Fern Ridge Reservoir. The weather turned out to be 
pretty nice (dry) which wasn't what we had expected at all. The highlight of 
the day was watching a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks courting and calling and 
then sitting together on top of a large pine tree for great viewing through the 
scope. Birds seen:

along W 11th
