[obol] Skinner's Butte, Eugene

[Larry Mcqueen]

The Wed morning group found swarming migrants on Skinner's Butte.
Warblers, vireos and tanagers rushed through the canopy like blowing leaves.
Yellow-rumps and Orange-crowns were the most numerous warblers, and others
were seen in numbers, except the single Nashville and Yellow warblers.  I
don't report the numbers for the most numerous.

the top of the butte.
