Sightings in Chiloquin

Check out the birds seen in Chiloquin from Wes Stone

 I've had several birders ask me what I've seen in Chiloquin recently,
and my answer has been: "Not much, because I haven't really been out."
I decided to rectify that situation today, and here's my new answer:

Date: December 26, 2011
Location: Chiloquin, Klamath County, Oregon

Low temperature: 26 F - High temperature: 35 F
Percentage of sky covered by clouds: 80%
Precipitation: none

I did an abbreviated version of my old walking route to see what was
up. A variety of waterfowl were taking advantage of the unfrozen water
on the Williamson. I added a new species to my town list (I'd never
seen a Green-winged Teal here before, really?) and also saw a nice
drake Mallard x Northern Pintail (second bird from the right here:
http://wesweb.homestead.com/files/mallnopi.jpg , too bad it was all
the way across the river and backlit). Large flocks of Red-winged
Blackbirds and Cedar Waxwings were surprising.

Total number of species seen: 46

count list.]

Gray-crowned Rosie-Finch - Diamond Lake Junction May 27

Hi Everyone:

Sorry for the delay in getting this out. Larry Arbanas actually found the bird to the rear of the Cafe at Diamond Lake Junction on May 27th.  He has been filming in Northern Lake County and Sheldon NWR. Just returned last night.  According to the KBBT bird list this bird is listed as rare at Crater Lake NP and Diamond Lake.

Thanks much,

Cindy

Pelicans just seen at Miller Island Refuge

Amercian white pelicans - Saw them during early lunch outing, circling high in the sky near the ODFW office; did not see where they went from there as I was distracted watching the many thousands of snow geese in the field near the office. - Greg Holm (Crater Lake and Klamath Falls)
