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/
the way across the river and backlit). Large flocks of Red-winged
Blackbirds and Cedar Waxwings were surprising.
