The LONG-TAILED DUCK found by Bob Stites's group on the Portland CBC 
is still present. In the course of errands around North Portland this 
afternoon, I stopped by and saw it swimming with 3 Common Goldeneyes 
beneath the railroad bridge at Hayden Island.  To get here from the 
south, take exit 308 off of I-5, drive under the freeway, and follow 
Hayden Island Road westward past the big-box stores and industrial 
parks to where it ends at a gate. Walk to the river to the right. The 
bird was to the left just past the railroad bridge.  For you county 
listers, note that this site is tantalizingly close to Columbia 
County.  Had I realized that at the time, I would certainly have run, 
jumped, and yelled to chase the bird across the county line and get 
it on both lists.    .... just kidding.

Also, there was a dark-phase ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK at the western end of 
the Portland Airport.
