[birding] Benton Co. NAMC Preliminary Results

[Marcia F. Cutler]

The preliminary species total for the Benton Co. NAMC is 116 birds.  In
contrast to the Wednesday before (Red Knot, Black-bellied Plovers,
Whimbrels, Black-necked Stilts) and the Tuesday afterwards (Purple Martins,
Bank Swallow -count week anyone?), there were no particularly unusual
species reported.  The count day seemed to hit the midst of migration for
Warbling Vireos, Wilson's Warblers and Western Tanagers.  Highlights
include:

 

Snow Geese - 4 seen in a migrating flock of Greater White-fronted Geese

Sooty Grouse - 2 booming at Fitton Green

Green Heron 

Spotted Sandpiper

Long-billed Dowitcher - Finley

Wilson's Phalarope - Finley

Olive-sided Flycatcher

American Pipit - Finley

Hermit Warbler - heard at Fitton Green

MacGillivray's Warbler - Bald Hill

Vesper Sparrow - heard at Fitton Green

Bullock's Oriole - Willamette Park

Notable misses include Band-tailed Pigeon, Yellow-headed Blackbird, any
peeps, Great Horned Owl, Black Phoebe (seen Monday), Hutton's Vireo and
Townsend's Warbler.
