[birding] Oregon Birding Calendar updates

[Joel Geier]

Hello folks,

I got some feedback that the fall/spring arrival info on the Oregon
Birding Calendar at:

www.oregonbirds.org/calendar.html

was a bit confusing. I've added some further explanations; hope it makes
sense now.

Also, the calendar includes some new information about "winter
sanctuary" closures and events on the Willamette Valley refuges. The
winter sanctuary closures are to protect wintering waterfowl from
disturbance; for birders it means to do birding either from our cars or
along the specific trails that remain open year-round.

I was going to include the winter closure date for the upper road on
Marys Peak (used to be December 1st), but it looks like Siuslaw National
Forest will let that be decided by snow conditions again this year.

Happy birding,
Joel
