[birding] Corvallis Orange-crowned warbler, etc. 3/30

[woodpecker97330 at yahoo.com]

Mona St. Marie and I found an Orange-crowned Warbler at Stewart Lake (HP), Corvallis, feeding in 2 flowering cherries of some sort.  Today & Friday I saw rufous hummingbirds feeding in the same trees at the southeast end of the lake, as well as OCWAs last year.  
 
We also found a Pileated Woodpecker working on an oak tree on the west side. This is  first pileated that I have on record there since January, 2002. We watched it, then turned 180 degrees and watched a pair of bushtits building their nest within 10-15 feet of last year's location (and several previous years' nest locations as well).
