[obol] Eugene's Wednesday birders

[Dennis Arendt]

The Wednesday birders from Eugene went to our local migrant trap, Skinner Butte, this morning.  The birds were quiet and scarce most of the morning.  As the sun warmed us and the butte the bird numbers increased.  We had good views of a bright Pacific-slope Flycatcher and brief views of a Hammond's Flycatcher.  At the end of the morning we found a cooperative Wilson's Warbler.  The recently found Calliope Hummingbird was not seen this morning.  Our complete list is below.
