[obol] Western Kingbird nest at Sandy River Delta

[Andy Frank]

WESTERN KINGBIRDS are definitely nesting at Sandy River Delta.  The nest is about 30 feet off the ground and is very inconspicuous.  I was fortunate to see the bird fly around and then land back on the nest.  >From the southwest support, follow the support that slants to the east and the nest is 5-10 feet below the first struts that horizontally encircle the tower.

Per BOGR, "Nesting records exist throughout the Willamette Valle, but recent breeding has bee confirmed only as far north as Marion and Polk counties."
