[obol] Smith and Bybee and area, Portland, OR 11-09

[Chris Warren]

I did a sweep of north Portland today stopping at Vanport Wetlands, Smith
and Bybee WR, and Force Lake.  Here's an overall highlight list.  Because
things were moving around so much I have combined my total numbers from all
locations unless stated otherwise in the list.
