[obol] Solitary Sandpiper, Yamhill Co.

[Floyd Schrock]

A very approachable SOLITARY SANDPIPER was tanking up in a soggy field 
near the Willamette R. this morning.  For a couple of hours it 
appeared to be eating small critters almost continuously.  A good 
photo-op.

There were also many more GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS than I've ever seen 
in that same area.  Two bright WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS were feeding 
with them.  WARBLING VIREOS and YELLOW WARBLERS were making lots of 
music, and the baby BALD EAGLES are as big as chickens already.
