[birding] Some Central Linn Birds

[M & R Campbell]

This morning at the Pioneer Villa ponds (jct. of I-5 and 228) there were:

Great Egret, 1
Green Heron, 1
Dowitchers, 25+
Greater Yellowlegs, 8+
Lesser Yellowlegs, 10+
Least Sandpiper, 5+
Western Sandpiper, 10+
PECTORAL SANDPIPER, 2

There is very little water and a lot of mud in the south pond right now.


Three Red-shouldered Hawks were making a lot of noise where Oak Plain Road crosses Muddy Creek, Between Peoria and Halsey.  I didn't see them well, but I assume this was a family.  This last winter Jeff Fleischer saw a Red-shouldered Hawk nearby, and the habitat is right for them.

Yesterday (8/29) a Peregrine took a few turns over the river behind our house.
