[obol] Benton Co arrivals

[Karan & Jim Fairchild]

Hi all-

  Seemingly in sync with other locations in or near the Willamette Valley, our first WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW arrived yesterday, 03-26, 
in spite of falling snow and snow on the ground this morning.  We heard one singing today, also FOX SPARROWs, which don't usually 
sing here.

  Also, an OSPREY was sitting right next to its old nest beside the Willamette River in Corvallis this afternoon.  Beautiful!
