[obol] Eugene's Wednesday birders

[Dennis Arendt]

We drove to a forested area near Leaburg up the McKenzie to visit friends who own 170 acres of mixed woods and meadows.  The area was very active, though the species count was low.  The bird activity died down about 10:00.  A visit to this area starting at 6:00 instead of 7:30 would have been very beneficial.  Here is our list:

Turkey Vulture - a few
Band-tailed Pigeon - one 
Rufous Hummingbird - 2 or 3 near the house
Northern Flicker - 2 heard only
Olive-sided Flycatcher - one making its single note call repeatedly
Willow Flycatcher - several
Hammond's Flycatcher - heard frequently, seen twice
Pacific-slope Flycatcher - heard frequently, seen twice
Warbling Vireo - heard often 
Steller's Jay - many
Common Raven - a couple
Chestnut-backed Chickadee - a few heard
Winter Wren - frequently heard along Indian creek
Swainson's Thrush - heard all morning, a few seen
American Robin - several
Cedar Waxwing - a few
Black-throated Gray Warbler  - a few
Hermit Warbler - one heard
MacGillivray's Warbler - three or four
Wilson's Warblers - several
Western Tanagers - several
Spotted Towhee - two heard, one seen
Song Sparrow - common
White-crowned Sparrow - several
Black-headed Grosbeak - many
Red Crossbill - some heard
