From about 11:15 until 1:20 I was out walking in Sherwood and saw at least
1500 cackling and Canada geese heading south in several large flocks and a
few hundred more at about 3PM. Rick

Two interesting things going on in NW Portland which are bird and storm
related:
First of all, we have seen at least a dozen flocks of geese headed south
and appearing to be coming from Sauvie (or vicinity). This was over a 2 hr.
from period from about 10:30 -12:30. Will they return once the snow melts,
or have they decided they chose the wrong wintering over spot? I assuem
this is still going on, just not outside to witness it.
Secondly, last night about 10 PM, as the snow was rapidly accumulating, I
watched one of our male Anna's Hummingbirds, feed repeatedly at our feeder
on the porch. I have thought in the past that I have heard them chittering
late at night, but I have never witnessed after dark feeding.
