[obol] Newport birds

[Range Bayer]

Hi,

   Western Bluebirds are rare along the Lincoln County coastline, but
after a period of freezing weather inland, they often show up along the
coast, including Yaquina Head, where Vjera found them.

   This winter, after the freezing weather  a couple of weeks ago, we
started getting Western Bluebird reports near the coast.

   Thanks!
