[obol] Airlie CBC Palm Warbler directions

[Karan & Jim Fairchild]

Fellow Birders,

Karan and I were covering the north half of E.E. Wilson WMA, north of Corvallis, today Dec 30.  I went off separately midafternoon 
(~3pm) to poke around a small storage shed just south of  the northern-most  east-west paved road (there is a barn owl box on 
building's west side).  From this shed I walked northeast to rejoin Karan and intersected a loose group of house finches, song, 
Lincoln and -crowned sparrows, plus this bird, which all settled into the large scattered clumps of multi-flora(sp?) roses.

The shed can be reached by continuing north for about a mile and a half on the paved road in front of the E.E.Wilson office.  It 
will be 50 yards off this road and on your right (east) a couple hundred yards shy of the pavement end.

As an aside, there is a large planting of sunflowers to this building's south, and the general area about was very thick with birds, 
both with passerines, and raptors (7 raptor species in 1/2 hour!).

It'd be great for someone else to find this bird, Karan and I were unable to relocate it, particularly for being a rarity for Benton 
County and for this time of year.
Cheers,
Jim Fairchild
