[obol] Bear Creek Greenway monthly bird walk, Wilson warblers galore

[Jim Harleman and/or Kathy McNeill]

Obolers,

Below is the list generated by Rogue Valley Audubon Society's monthly bird
walk in Central Point at the end of the Greenway. Some things of note:

Northern Shoveler, a female with 4 young at the pond just downstream from
the end of the Greenway.

Wilson's warbler numbers continue to amaze. The past two and half weeks they
have been here by the dozen but were primarily males. This week we counted
44 with about half females and half males.

Warbling vireos were also more than usual.

Orange-crowned warblers and Nashville warblers continued to have greater
numbers than expected.

Other numbers were as expected.
