[obol] Malheur birds

[Vjera Arnold]

Obol,

Daniel Farrar just called with an update from Malheur.

Tim Rodenkirk had a MAGNOLIA WARBLER at Benson Pond.

Duncan said there had been a BLACKPOLL and REDSTART reported recently
(probably at HQ, Daniel wasn't sure).

Alan and Daniel had an immature RED-SHOULDERED HAWK (with downy feathers
still on head) at Buena Vista.  It was capable of flight.

And there is a reported male RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD south of Pendleton 
at the feeder of Eric Skirvin.  Daniel didn't have good directions yet. 
Daniel said there is a video and still shots of the bird.  Alan has seen
the still shots and agrees with the ID.  Features he mentioned as evident
or known are a black notched tail, ruby-red throat, profile of
black-chinned, with emerald-green tone on back.  Hopefully they will be
able to see and verify it this weekend.

Good birding,
Vjera Arnold
