[obol] - sightings on 1/7/07 and 1/10/07

[Jacqui Parker]

1/7: In Hillsboro, OR west of PDX, saw a pair of Buffleheads in a pond. 
Also a Male Kestrel on a lamp post. Both sightings off Cornell Rd in a 
new housing development near Orenco Station. Used to seeing a lot of 
Mallards, Wigeons, and Canada Geese, but have not seen  Buffleheads  
outside of a more rural or natural area. Also saw the usual (but always 
thrilling) Redtail Hawk(s, 2) in the area that day.
1/10: When seeing GBHerons, I usually see them in fields hunting mice or 
by a creek, but saw one - midday roosting up in a tree.
