My mom and i birded finley from 6 to 730, i looked for mockingbird and dusky flycatcher with no luck):
I also looked for tern at cabell with no luck, there was 2 WHITE PELICAN among thousands of tree, vg, nrw, cliff and barn swallows. There were 3 CA QUAIL crossing the road by the red barn across from cabell. 
Best bird was a GRASSHOPPER SPARROW at the prairie overlook, very very close to us, probly 50 ft out. Also at the overlook were W KINGBIRD, LAZULI BUNTING and western meadowlarks singing.

At the philomath poo ponds were 10 SPOTTED SANDPIPER and one LEAST SANDPIPER on the green muk. There were THOUSANDS of swallows on the right pond.
