[birding] Pyrrhuloxia, Palm Warbler, Yes!

[M & R Campbell]

Since so many people seem to have struck out on the Pyrrhuloxia recently, I thought I'd tell you all that it is still here, found a few minutes ago in the scrubby patch east of Main Street and a block north of Stark Street.  I put out feed there this morning.  The Palm Warbler was feeding in the sunshine in the large fir just south of the greenhouse.  The greenhouse in question is the one visible from the park's parking area.

Peoria can be found in the Delorme Atlas, p. 47 A7.  It's east of the Willamette River on Peoria Road, which runs between Corvallis and Harrisburg.  Peoria is about 9 miles south of Hwy. 34 and 12 miles north of Harrisburg.  An old church is at the south end of town, and Peoria Park (and boat ramp) is at the north end.  Main Street runs between them, along the river.  Our house is 29756 Main Street.  Sometimes the Pyrrhuloxia visits our back yard.  Birders are welcome to stand north of our house to check out the yard.
