[obol] Lane B Phoebe, possible BR THRASHERS

[Alan Contreras]

My birding friend Eva Schultz says that a Black Phoebe, perhaps two, have
taken up residence at the bridge on Cantrell Rd west of Eugene.

She also indicates that on April 18, she and a friend observed two birds
that looked like BROWN THRASHERS along Neilson Rd. south of the checkstation
but before Cantrell, in old pear trees.  She has seen them before in the
east and is familiar with Sage Thrashers.  She called these in to other
birders who, it turns out, may be out of town.

"Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am
horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human.  It is
always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept
this, that the people's anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes
me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed;
that they gamble--yes, gamble--with a whole part of their life and their
so-called 'vital interests'."

Albert Camus, 1937
