[obol] Eugene Migrants and Yard Birds

[Barbara Combs]

Today in my yard I found a CHIPPING SPARROW in fully bright seasonal
plumage, ready for action.  Also, two LINCOLN'S SPARROWS were feeding
on the ground with about 9 GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS and several
WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS.

The two Lincoln's Sparrows were quite different.  One was bright, with
a nice black central breast blotch, and the other was pale with no
central breast blotch of any kind.  I see Lincoln's Sparrow very
infrequently here.  Both gambelli and pugetensis were represented
among the White-crowned Sparrows.

BUSHTITS have been working on a nest in the weeping willow tree.
