[obol] Bend Hermit Warbler

[david tracy]

There has been a lit of migrant activity this spring along the lower  
elevations of Deschutes County, especially along the river.  Empids  
and warblers are numerous with good diversity.  We had a Hammond's  
Flycatcher hanging around the house last week.  I agree that the snow  
at higher elevations is probably a big factor.  We've been getting  
snow pretty regularly just outside of town as you go up in elevation  
toward the Cascades, and there's still several feet of snow pack  
above about 4000 feet, lower on slopes with a northern aspect, and  
there are very few insects up there.
