[obol] Eugene's Wednesday Birders

[Dennis Arendt]

In the mist and cold (we got accustomed to the summer weather of a few days ago) we traveled to the old South Willamette Dump site near 52nd and Willamette streets.  The birds were mostly uncooperative; persistence was necessary.  There were neither flycatchers nor any woodpeckers.  Here is our list for the morning.

 

Turkey Vulture - a few brave or hungry ones 

Red-tailed Hawk 

Mourning Dove - heard in the distance 

Anna's Hummingbird 

Cassin's Vireo - heard only

Warbling Vireo - seen briefly

Steller's Jay 

Western Scrub-Jay 

Common Raven 

Black-capped Chickadee 

Red-breasted Nuthatch 

American Robin 

Orange-crowned Warbler - quite a few

Nashville Warbler - a hard to see bugger

Black-throated Gray Warbler - heard only

MacGillivray's Warbler - seen well after 20 minutes of coaxing

Common Yellowthroat - one male

Wilson's Warbler - a few

Yellow-breasted Chat - singing as we arrived and another found later

Western Tanager - common

Spotted Towhee - many

Song Sparrow 

Dark-eyed Junco - one individual

Black-headed Grosbeak - seen and heard continually

Lazuli Bunting - several males and females

Brewer's Blackbird 

Brown-headed Cowbird
