2011 April 9 - Powell Butte Nature Park (Reunion)

Some 1st and 2nd year students of the School of Birding met at Powell Butte this morning for the monthly 1st year Reunion Field Trip. It was so wonderful to see the graduates again! Our timing coincided with a Ron Escano trip and there was a big crowd so we split off on our own. Highlights included Orange-crowned Warblers, Mountain Bluebirds (!) and seeing an American Kestrel chase a Sharp-Shinned Hawk out of his territory. Other highlights were the Western Meadowlarks, a bedraggled Lincoln's Sparrow, Savannah Sparrows and a Hermit Thrush.

Our total count: 33. I felt pretty smug about that until later in the afternoon when Michael and I ran into two men at Sandy River Delta who were part of Ron's trip and they saw/heard 46 species, including Osprey, Lesser Yellowlegs Wilson's Snipe, and the elusive Say's Phoebe. However, I think we did great on our own! :)
