[birding] [obol] Silverton area birds Correction

[Carl & Christine Schneiders]

Hi Birders,

This morning I found out that I had made an identification error yesterday morning.  What I thought were 2 juvenile NORTHERN HARRIERS were actually 2 RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS (a lifer)!!  I think this is significant since I have heard very few reports of RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS in the Silverton area.

Hi Birders,

I took a bike ride to Torvend Rd. Pond a local pond/mud flat. The best birds were 12 LEAST SANDPIPERS, 1 GREATER YELLOWLEGS, 4 CHIPPING SPARROWS, 20+ SAVANNAH SPARROWS, and 1 COMMON RAVEN.  I thought that SAVANNAH SPARROWS were a lot less common until I started biking through grass and grain fields.
