[obol] Malheur birds

[Alan Contreras]

Greetings from Malheur.  En route today we saw six Pinyon Jays in e.
Sisters, very few raptors across the desert, a nice wad of migrants at the
Riley Pond including a Willow Fly and a good shorebird mix at the Narrows.

Narrows had 2 pectorals, both yellowlegs (not many), about 100 Westerns,
many small flocks of LB Dow, a juv ibis, a dozen avocets and big flocks of
pelicans, grebes, corms and RB Gulls.

HQ was hot, humid and quiet.  Several Lewis's Woodpeckers, quite a few Rb
Nuhatches and very small numbers of other usual migrants.  A storm line is
going through tonight, crosscutting overnight east winds.

Rich Hoyer found a Red-flanked Bluetail in the Pribilofs today.
