[obol] Some Smith & Bybee birds (MULT)

[Tom McNamara]

OBOL,

Bybee Lake had 5 Semi-palmated plovers, 8 Leasts, 1 injured  Western, and 2 Lesser Yellowlegs.  Also gobs of ducks---mostly mallards but with them--Green -wing teal, woodies, pintail, shovelers. 

Smith had 4 Great Egrets, a pile  of wood ducks, one Am. wigeon, and just one barn swallow.

Yesterday, on Mt.Tabor in SE Portland, Em Scatteregia and sons Christopher and Adrian and I saw a fair number of hummers up near the top on the east sloping lawn with a verge of blackberry etc.  "Fair numbers" means probably 20 or so. Nowhere near what Gerard Lillie and Jeff Gilligan had a bit over a week ago but still quite enjoyable. Most were Rufous, and the rest Anna's.  Also had one Willow Flycatcher up there and a smattering of other  migrants.

good birding,
Tom
