[obol] Another Tennessee Warbler ... in Benton County

[Joel Geier]

Hello folks,

Doug Robinson reported a TENNESSEE WARBLER at the Vanderpool Tract 
(Willamette River) greenway in NE Benton County this morning. Joe 
Fontaine was able to see the bird later on (around noon).

This makes at least four Tennessee Warblers in the state this week, 
including the one Bill Tice found at Suttle Lake (Jefferson Co.) and the 
one along Antone Rd. (Wheeler Co.) over the weekend, plus at least one 
at Malheur NWR (Harney Co.) reported by Daniel Farrar et al. Seems to me 
there was one reported somewhere else -- around PDX? It might be worth 
checking all those "Orange-crowned" Warblers closely.

It's also interesting that unusually high numbers of migrant OCWAs were 
seen over the weekend in east/central Oregon. I was seeing a fairly high 
proportion of "gray-headed" OCWAs in Wheeler Co. Was that the pattern 
elsewhere these flocks were encountered?

Good birding,
Joel
