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.
