[obol] Finley NWR 10/13/07

[Marcia F. Cutler]

The Audubon Society of Corvallis' field trip visited Finley NWR this
morning.  We covered the north side, including Cabell Marsh and Mill Hill
trail.  Perhaps the most notable sighting was a large flock (> 100) of
BAND-TAILED PIGEONS along the Mill Hill trail.  Cabell Marsh did not have
many ducks or geese in it yet.  Along with some Mallards and Canada Geese
were a small flock of RING-NECKED DUCKS and a small flock of AMERICAN
WIGEON.  An adult BALD EAGLE kept watch.  Nearby, we had a probable PRAIRIE
FALCON.  Its back was a uniformly light brown color, but we didn't see any
dark axillaries, tho the dark foggy sky made distinguishing color and
markings rather difficult.
