[obol] Myrtle Creek - Riddle-Canyonville Raptor Run - Dec. 4

[Ann Chamberlain]

What a gorgeous day when we started out.  73 degrees and sunny.  As we 
got lower down, the fog was thick.  Saw several red-tailed hawks with 
their wings out to dry!

Fog did burn off in a hour or so and the day continued to be beautiful.

8 RED-TAILED HAWK
5 KESTREL
1 COOPER'S HAWK, eating a mouse and quite annoyed that I stopped to look
1 TURKEY VULTURE, soaring over Day's Creek

Stopped to look at puddle ducks at Herbert's Pond.  Coot, widgeons, 
ring-necks, hooded mergansers and one ruddy duck.  Cormorant, 
kingfisher, the usual mallards.  Saw one female red-breasted merganser 
on Cow Creek.
