[obol] Benton County Orange-Crowned

[Karan & Jim Fairchild]

We happened to see a yellowish bird moving through our shrubberies mid-day today.  Once it popped out, we could see it was clearly 
an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER.  This is more than a week earlier than our earliest sightings in the past 6 years.  They typically arrive 
here with the big-leaf maple bloom, but all at our elevation are not in bloom yet; some are in bloom at the Willamette Valley floor.
