[obol] Coffee Creek wetlands

[Thomas Love]

There was a nice assortment of waterfowl at Coffee Creek wetlands (just into northwestern Clackamas Co. on Graham's Ferry Rd. nw of Wilsonville), including a nice FOY drake CINNAMON TEAL.  There were a dozen or more HOODED MERGANSERS (2/3 female), including one first spring male - a plumage I'd never seen before that I can remember.  Sort of like the Geo Guide's picture of subadult male, except it had the black-and-white shoulder striping coming in.  Fascinating.
