Thanks Hendrik, that's a nice photo of a bird that was very active.
Frank Kolwicz might recognize the willow bush!
Chris & Adrian Hinkle and Em Scattaregia just picked up the bird as #175
(hope I got that right) for their Portland Audubon fundraiser birdathon.
They were getting tired after starting out on the coast, but hopefully
they can still pick up a few birds at Willamette Park.
Happy birding,
Joel
