[obol] Bird movement Jo Co

[Dennis P. Vroman]

Interesting that today (02-17-07) is the first day PINE SISKINS have been at our thistle feeder (just east of Merlin I-5 exit; Josephine Co) for some time.

Also, just now foraging on sunflower seeds on our deck was a SLATE-COLORED JUNCO; first I have seen this winter (we have lots of Juncos).  Appeared to be a male, perhaps last-years fledgling (some brown to back).  Not much of a distinction of a hood as with Oregon Juncos.  Sides were dark as with normal Slates.  Could be one of those Canadian Rocky Mtn types.  ...another one for Greg to ponder.
