[obol] Lincoln Co.: Mtn Chickadee & Probable Yellow-billed Loon

[Range Bayer]

Hi,

   On Nov. 22, Jill Grover reported that she had seen on Nov. 18th "what
looked like the Yellow-billed Loon in the lake just south of the
intersection of Sandpiper Drive and Highway 101.  The yellow-colored bill
was unmistakable."  This area is approximately 1.5 mile north of the Alsea
Bay Bridge.

   On Nov. 22, Jill also reports that for a "couple of days, most recently
on Tuesday, Nov. 20th, a Mountain Chickadee has been visiting our bird
feeder in Sandpiper Village.  I got a really good look at it with the
binoculars."

   Happy Thanksgiving!
