Hi Folks,
  This early afternoon (1pm), while driving up SE Hawthorne Drive up behind
downtown Roseburg, this male MOUNTAIN QUAIL was standing on the side of the
road. Luckily I had my camera with me!

  Today at home, two WESTERN KINGBIRDS were checking out the transformer
brackets and other potential nest structures on nearby utility poles. I saw
them check out potential nest sites last year too, but they did not nest.
We'll see this year.
