[obol] Western Bluebirds in Lakeside

[conserve at tidelink.net]

What an amazing going away present!

My wife just called from Lakeside, in Coos county (where she is cleaning
the our old rental). She is reporting 5 male and 6 female WESTERN
BLUEBIRDS. They are gleaning, hunting and preening. Perching and short
quick flights are the order of the day. Can you believe it? After 4 years
of watching daily and never seeing hide nor hair of them, there they show
up for the first time. So, I am not at home to read my Birds Of Oregon for
details but I can imagine they are not super common since I have not yet
seen them around Lakeside myself.

Have a great weekend all!
