Chuck & Dorothy Gates visited me this weekend and we did some birding.
Fist-of-year finds:
Saturday afternoon:
McMinnville - Vaux Swift
Yamhill sewage ponds - Western Sandpiper
Beulah Park, Yamhill - Sharp-shinned Hawk
Moore's Valley - Killdeer chick, but NO Western Kingbird (not here yet)
Redmond Hill Rd - Wild Turkey
Sunday:
Agency Creek - Pacific-slope Flycatcher, Dippers at nest
Misty Ridge W of Willamina - Purple Martin
Sheridan sewage pond - Eared Grebe
24 hrs. 80 new species for Chuck's Yamhill list. :):) Good fun
Good birding,
Paul Sullivan
