[obol] RBA: triple threat

An interesting question.  There are large numbers of them in the Sacramento 
Valley (central valley) around the NWR systems.  A couple of years ago in 
mid-September we found several large pure flocks of them.  However, they 
don't seem to want to come northward.  I have yet to see one in Josephine 
Co.

During the OR Breeding Bird Atlas project I found 2 in Douglas Co in the 
summer in breeding plumage (at Wildlife Safari), which may have been there 
because of the managers of the place (they were hanging around the Hippos).
