And although they’ve been at Fernhill in good numbers recently, that may be
mostly bcs of the restoration project there; I don’t believe they were as
regular in previous years.

As with Cinnamon Teal, I think it depends on the year. It seems that milder
years are better for them.

I don't bird much outside of my patches but i've never seen or heard Sora on
Sauvie Island or in the Scappoose lowlands in the winter - Columbia County.
But there is a big geological divide between Washington and Columbia
Counties.
Usually April is when they show up and once in late March.
Virginia Rails occasionally throughout the winter.

Are SORA really that rare in the winter in WA County? They seem to be
regular at Fernhill for the duration of the winter. I know that they winter
regularly in Coos. Do they not winter in the Willamette Valley at the
refuges?
