[birding] Polk County NAMC highlights & lowlights

[Joel Geier]

Sorry, a correction here:

The one WESTERN TANAGER recorded on yesterday's Polk. Co. migration
count was in the patch of riparian habitat where the Luckiamute River
crosses the Corvallis-Independence Hwy, not in the Gerlinger area west
of Falls City.

There were not many neotropical passerines left in the western half of
Polk County, so far as I could get into the Coast Range (which was not
very far, due to the profusion of gates). The PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER
was the one exception, and he seemed to think that it was still breeding
season (giving male position notes).

Happy birding,
Joel
