Birdfellow Social Field Guide. N Pacific Surface Analysis. Real time Surface winds. Saturday, August 1, 2015. Snowy Plover in Clatsop County. If you want to see another "beach" plover, check out my previous blog I posted at end of July "Where in the World". I think the first three photos are of a hatch-year. Fresh feathers and buff edges to coverts. Back to a hatch-year. Not sure if this is same hatch-year as the bird above. If not, then I saw three plover. The adult with the hatch-year. After finding zi...

Birdfellow Social Field Guide. N Pacific Surface Analysis. Real time Surface winds. Monday, March 9, 2015. There is not much snow up in the Mt Hood Forest this winter. Areas where there should be 5-6 feet of snow have none, only a few small patches. The area looks like how it should in early July. I have taken advantage of this by going on some hikes. Below is a view of Mt Hood from Palmateer. I should be chest deep in snow at this location. Below is a s. Huck reluctantly posing at Devil's Half Acre, the...

The highlight of the trip was spotting two Parakeet Auklets. I tried to set a waypoint on my iPhone but the location it shows does not make any sense. My phone was accurate out to about 20 miles out, then it went crazy. I think we were about 27 miles offshore, open to being corrected. Here are a few photos of some that we saw. Northern Fulmars were common:. I ligh...

Cutting directly from the website the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has for the area :. The unit is roughly bordered by Badger Creek Road to the south, FR 27 to the west, Friend Road to the north and Hwy 197 to the east. Yesterday I was able to drive all the way around the area, though FR 27 had rock slides to navigate. A quiz for you:. Rough-legged H...

I was lazy and did not take any photos but here is a Hermit Warbler singing a typical song version heard on the eastern side of Hood. Black-throated Gray Warbler 2. I had concerns about snakes so I kept Huck on a leash while I was birding the oak forest. There is another reason in photo below. This is a typical view of a side of a canyon covered in oaks. I heard a number...

Out and About Oregon Birds: April 2015
http://outandaboutoregonbirds.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Birdfellow Social Field Guide. N Pacific Surface Analysis. Real time Surface winds. Saturday, April 25, 2015. I ventured down to the mouth of the Columbia River today to look for shorebirds. At Wireless Road there were hundreds of Whimbrel. I looked for birds with orange tails, and pale rumps. Looking for Bristle-thighed Curlew, none found. I would have taken any other Asian curlew as well :). One of the Whimbrels had enough of a Marbled Godwit. Peace eventually won out. No rain, sunny skies and a fun day.

Birdfellow Social Field Guide. N Pacific Surface Analysis. Real time Surface winds. Friday, July 31, 2015. Where in the World. Lets see if you can figure out where I was. I went back to my home state last week for a family reunion. We converged on the family's historical summer hangout. O ne of the three Piping Plover chicks on beach. Ruddy Turnstone were easy to find. A flock of about 6 American Oystercatchers were on the beach. A variety of hudsonia, they bloom yellow earlier in the year. On my last da...
