[obol] Alton Baker Park - Eugene

[Hansen Judith]

Our small birding group check out Alton Baker Park today from the  
community garden out to the pedestrian/bicycle bridge across the  
Willamette.  We did not bird the ponds near the restrooms.

The Say's phoebe was in the small oak trees (under 6 feet) adjacent  
to the dog park near the hammer throw field.  It was there at 8 AM  
when we began and at 10 AM on our way out.  The other highlight was a  
Cooper's hawk building a nest which is located near the bike/ 
pedestrian trail near the bridge over the Willamette.
